Ottoman bridge in Szolnok, Ottoman road bridge in Szolnok, Hungary.

The wooden bridge extends 110 meters across the Tisza River, connecting both sides of Szolnok with its sturdy oak construction and traditional design.

Built in 1562 during the Ottoman occupation, this bridge marked the first permanent crossing point over the Tisza River in the region.

The bridge represents a period of architectural exchange between Hungarian and Ottoman building techniques, visible in its structural elements and design patterns.

Remnants of the bridge foundation became visible during the drought of 2003, allowing researchers to document its exact position and construction methods.

The bridge served as both a military strategic point and a trade route, connecting the Ottoman-controlled territories with the northern Hungarian regions.
