Its story
Built by the Germans as part of the Baghdad Railway, the bridge is considered an engineering marvel at about 98 meters high and 172 meters long. It is also popularly known as the "German Bridge". Its fame grew further when some scenes of the James Bond film Skyfall were shot here. The viewpoints on the opposite slopes of the valley are ideal for photos.
