Nysa Bridge and Tunnel
Sultanhisar, Aydın
A Roman tunnel-bridge structure of about 100 meters in Nysa, carrying the Tekkecik Deresi underground.
Its story
The Nysa Bridge was built in the Roman period over the Tekkecik Deresi, which runs through the middle of the city. The vaulted structure, about 100 meters long, channels the stream through a tunnel and creates a large city square on top. In this respect it is counted among the largest in Anatolia after the similar structure in Bergama. It can be seen near the theater during a tour of the site.
