Ala Bridge, Stone bridge in Anamur district, Turkey.

The Ala Bridge spans 21 meters across the Göksu River between two rocky masses in a narrow gorge within the Toros Mountains.

Built during the Karamanoglu dynasty, the bridge features an Arabic inscription from 706 AH, indicating its construction between 1306 and 1307 under Alaeddin Halil Bey.

The bridge represents traditional Turkish engineering methods, constructed with precisely cut stones and designed by architect Yusuf oglu Suleyman.

Visitors can reach the bridge via the Ermenek-Anamur road, with local transportation services connecting to nearby historical sites and natural attractions.

The structure underwent modifications in the 1960s, extending both ends by 40 meters and altering its original surface design.
