Dicle Bridge, Stone bridge over Tigris River in Diyarbakır, Turkey
The 172-meter bridge spans across the Tigris River with ten arches constructed from black basalt stone and varying passage widths along its length.
Built during the Marwanid period in 1065, the bridge features inscriptions detailing its construction by Judge Abu al-Hasan Abdul Wahid under architect Ubayd.
The bridge includes 29 different stonemason marks and a carved lion relief on its southern facade, representing regional architectural traditions of medieval Anatolia.
Located 3 kilometers from Diyarbakır center, the bridge connects the main city to Bağıvar district and surrounding villages through ancient Mardin road.
The bridge incorporates pyramidal-capped breakwaters on its northern face and displays varying arch dimensions to withstand the Tigris River current.
