Its story
Koca Köprü, popularly known as the Dörtgözlü Köprü (Four-Arched Bridge), crosses the Hemşin Deresi on the Pazar–Hemşin road in the Pazar district. The stone bridge, whose construction date is unknown, is called by this name because of its four arches. With a length of about 68.8 m and a width of 3.05 m, it is known as the longest historic bridge within the borders of Rize. Unlike the single-arched bridges common in the region, it stands out with its multi-arched structure. The bridge was repaired in 2012–2013. It can easily be seen on the way to Hemşin or Ciha Castle.
