Saraçhane Bridge, Ottoman stone arch bridge in Edirne Province, Turkey.

The Saraçhane Bridge stretches 120 meters across the Tundzha River with ten supporting arches of different sizes and a width of 5 meters.

Built in 1451 during Edirne's period as the Ottoman capital, the bridge takes its name from the Beylerbey of Rumelia, a Turkish provincial governor.

The bridge forms part of the Bridges of Edirne collection, demonstrating Ottoman engineering methods through its stone construction and architectural patterns.

A restoration project in 2007 reinforced the structure while maintaining its original design, ensuring continued use for modern transportation needs.

The low vaulted design incorporates ten distinct arches spanning the river, creating an essential link downstream from the Palace Island.
