Walk across a historic stone bridge built on Roman foundations, crossing the turquoise waters of the river.

A Bridge Between Eras

The Eurymedon Bridge (Köprüpazar Köprüsü) is a historic stone structure that spans the Köprüçay River near Aspendos. Built in the 13th century by the Seljuks on the foundations of a Roman bridge, its unique "broken" or zigzag design is both an engineering marvel and a visual delight. The bridge was constructed using stones from ancient ruins, and its pointed arches reflect the elegant aesthetic of the Seljuk era. Crossing the bridge on foot, you can feel the rhythmic flow of the turquoise river below and admire the stunning mountain scenery that surrounds this ancient crossing.

What Makes It Special

• Engineering Ingenuity: The zigzag design was a strategic innovation to help the bridge survive heavy river floods over centuries.
• Historic Layering: A living example of how medieval builders reused Roman stone to create something new.
• Scenic Beauty: Offers a peaceful and highly photogenic perspective of the turquoise river and the Taurus foothills.

Visitor Tips

Located on the road leading to the Aspendos Theatre; it is a quick 10-minute photo stop. There is no entrance fee. Visit in the morning when the sunlight hits the turquoise water and the stone arches perfectly. It’s a great spot for a quick history break.
