Castle bridge in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Medieval stone bridge in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine
The Castle Bridge spans 88 meters across the Smotrych River canyon, connecting the ancient fortress with the town through stone pillars and arches.
Built in 1494, the bridge features six stone pillars that initially supported wooden trusses before being upgraded to stone arches during medieval times.
The bridge earned the name Turkish Bridge after Ottoman forces fortified it during their unsuccessful siege of the city in 1687.
The structure varies in width from 8.5 meters at the entrance to 6.5 meters at its end, with heights ranging between 27 and 17 meters.
The bridge remains the sole preserved ancient transport link in Western Ukraine, reflecting the stone architecture that gave the town its name.
