Evliya Bey Köprüsü

From the two inscriptions on the mansab side, it is understood that the bridge was built by Evliya Bey in 1082 (1671). It extends over the water in a north-south direction and belongs to the group of three-span bridges with a flat roadway. Of the spans arranged in the form of pointed-arched openings, the middle one is wider. Two-colored finely cut stone material was used throughout. The inscriptions constitute the only decorative element on the bridge.
