About

Taşköprü (Stone Bridge) is a Roman era artifact and is considered as the city symbol of the Adana. It was constructed by the Roman Emperor Hadrianus and later repaired heavily during the reign of Justinianus. Bridge crosses the Seyhan River, and originally has 21 arches. However, during the reclamation of the Seyhan River, 7 arches were earthed up, and the bridge has continued to serve as 14 arch bridge. When it was built, bridge was narrower half a size, and in time bridge was widened. It is known that there were crown gates on both sides and these gates no more exist. It was restored a couple of times during Ottoman Era, and continues to serve as bridge to this day. Bridge is 310 meters long and 11.40 meters wide.

Taşköprü last restoration started at the beginning of 2006 and completed at the beginning of 2007. Also, Taşköprü is the oldest bridge in the world that is still in use...
