Baç Bridge, Roman bridge in Tarsus, Turkey
The Baç Bridge extends 60 meters across the Berdan River with three stone arches connecting the eastern and western sections of Tarsus.
Construction of the bridge started in 550 AD under Emperor Justinian I, who modified the Berdan River course to improve water flow through the structure.
The name Baç derives from the medieval practice of collecting customs duties from caravans crossing this vital transportation link between regions.
Located 2.5 kilometers east of Tarsus center within Kuvai Milliye Park, the bridge underwent restoration work in 1978 to maintain its structural integrity.
The bridge played a key role when Tarsus functioned as a Mediterranean port, but geological changes caused by river deposits shifted the coastline over centuries.
