Kravga Bridge

The stone bridge spans the Göksu River with three asymmetrical arches measuring 16.15, 19.7, and 8.2 meters in diameter.

Built during the Karamanid period between the 14th and 15th centuries, the structure incorporates foundations from an earlier Roman or Byzantine bridge.

The bridge displays traditional Turkish engineering methods through its combination of cut stone and rubble materials in different sections.

Located 45 kilometers from Mut and 205 kilometers from Mersin, the bridge maintained its function until 1990 when a new crossing was constructed.

The structure features two discharge cells and multiple open-spandrels that distribute the weight across its 83.4-meter length.
