Eurymedon Bridge, Roman stone bridge in Antalya Province, Turkey.
The Eurymedon Bridge is an ancient Roman stone structure that carries a single arch across the river it was built to traverse, constructed from carefully layered stone blocks without mortar. The arch design reflects Roman engineering skill and remains largely intact despite centuries of exposure to weather and water.
Built in the 2nd century AD, the structure served to connect the coastal Pamphylian region with inland territories during the Roman period. A major earthquake in 363 CE caused significant damage, after which it was reconstructed using salvaged materials from a nearby ruined aqueduct.
The construction displays Roman engineering methods through voussoirs set without mortar, representing the technical capabilities of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.
The structure sits north of Beşkonak village and can be reached via the D400 route that runs between Antalya and Alanya. The site is set in open countryside, so traveling by car makes a practical visit more straightforward.
An earthquake in 363 CE destroyed the original structure, leading to its reconstruction using materials from a nearby ruined aqueduct.
