The most famous stone bridge of Greece connects the banks of Arachthos river.

The folk song describes the difficulty of its construction, since “all day they were building it, and in the night it would collapse”. That forced the Chief Mason to sacrifice his wife and build her in the foundation of the bridge. Thus, the famous legend of the Bridge of Arta was born.

The dimensions of the Bridge (145 meters long and 3.75 meters wide) cause the admiration of the visitors.

Even from today’s perspective it is considered as a wonder of mechanics and proves the amazing technique of the Epirus stoneworkers.
