Palu Stone Bridge
The bridge, whose exact construction date is unknown since it has no inscription, is thought to have been built during the Roman Empire. Since the bridge was renovated during the Seljuk and Artukid periods, it bears the traces of many different civilizations and architectures. The 156-meter-long Palu Taş Bridge (Palu Taş Köprü) is referred to as “the bridge connecting İstanbul to Baghdad” in historical sources because it was the only transportation and crossing point that provided the north-south connection in its period.
