Devegeçidi Bridge, Medieval stone bridge in Diyarbakır Province, Turkey
The Devegeçidi Bridge extends across the Devegeçidi River with its distinctive black stone facade and seven graduated arches spanning 95 steps in length.
Built in 1218 by the Artuqid dynasty under Mahmûd bin Muhammed bin Karaarslan, the bridge was designed by architect Ca'fer bin Mahmûd el-Halebî.
Three inscriptions decorate the bridge, including religious text from Surah Al-Baqarah and acknowledgments to its patron and architect.
Located 20 kilometers north of Diyarbakır, the bridge continues to serve as a crossing point connecting the city to northern regions.
The structure features decreasing arch sizes, with the largest spanning 13.70 meters, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques from the 13th century.
