Çeşnigir Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Kırıkkale Province, Turkey

The Çeşnigir Bridge extends 110 meters across the Kızılırmak River with twelve stone arches connecting Karakeçili and Köprüköy towns.

Built during the Seljuk Sultanate period in the 13th century, the bridge underwent reconstruction under architect Mimar Sinan during Sultan Selim's reign.

The bridge structure demonstrates the engineering methods and architectural elements of the Seljuk period in Central Anatolia.

The bridge stands at 728 meters elevation and measures 6 meters in width, currently permitting only pedestrian access after closure to vehicles in 1989.

Rising water levels from the Kapulukaya Dam construction partially submerged the bridge foundations, transforming its appearance and function.
