Hatun (Hanım) Bridge
Malazgirt, Muş
A small historic stone bridge over the Adalar Çayı at the entrance to Malazgirt, dated to the Seljuk period.
Its story
The structure, also called the Hanım Bridge, is at the second kilometer of the Malazgirt–Muş highway, about 170–180 meters east of the Karaçoban road, over the Adalar Çayı (Adalar Stream), which flows north–south. About 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, the bridge is dated to the Seljuk period and is presented as one of the few works from that period that have survived in the district. Because of its small size it is a short stop; it can be combined with a visit to the national park and castle when entering or leaving Malazgirt.
