Its story
The Meriç Bridge, also known as the Mecidiye Bridge, was built between 1842–1847 in the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid. The bridge, about 263 meters long, rises on 12 pointed arches. The dome of the marble-inscribed date pavilion (tarih köşkü) in its middle has wall paintings with views of Edirne. Linking Edirne to Karaağaç, the bridge is one of the city's favorite spots for watching the sun set over the Meriç in the late afternoon.
