Küçükçekmece Bridge, Ottoman stone bridge in Küçükçekmece, Turkey
The Küçükçekmece Bridge spans 227 meters across Lake Küçükçekmece with thirteen stone arches connecting the lake to the Marmara Sea.
Built in 1560 by architect Mimar Sinan, this bridge replaced previous structures dating back to 558, including one constructed by Emperor Justinian I.
The bridge represents Ottoman engineering methods, featuring traditional stone masonry techniques and architectural elements typical of 16th-century Turkish construction.
Located on the southeastern shore of Lake Küçükçekmece, the bridge measures 7 meters in width and varies in height from 1.35 to 8.50 meters.
Recent restoration work in 2008 revealed a previously unknown thirteenth arch, changing historical records that had documented only twelve arches.
