Kırkgöz Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Bolvadin, Turkey.

Kırkgöz Bridge extends 360 meters across the Alakir Stream with 28 arches constructed from locally sourced stone materials, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques.

Dating from the third century, this bridge stands as one of the earliest examples of segmented arch construction, reflecting Roman engineering methods in ancient Anatolia.

The bridge holds significant value for the Bolvadin community, where residents gather near its arches for social events and traditional celebrations throughout the year.

Visitors can access the bridge on foot from the main road, with parking facilities available nearby and information panels explaining its construction methods.

The bridge features an exceptional series of twenty-eight consecutive arches, creating a rhythmic pattern that spans the entire length of the structure.
