Its story
This structure, also known as Taşköprü (Stone Bridge), has no inscription; however, sources record it, together with the nearby complex, as the bridge Sokollu Mehmed Paşa commissioned from Mimar Sinan in the 1560s. It was built so that the army on campaign and the post and caravan routes could cross the stream. Open to vehicle traffic for many years, the bridge was repaired in 1930 and 1987. It can be reached on a short walk from the town center.
