Silifke Taş Stone Bridge

The Silifke Tash Bridge is located in the center of the Silifke district in the city of Mersin, and it was built between 1977 and 1978 AD by the Governor of Cilicia. It is a stone bridge spanning the Goksu River. It maintained its original shape until the end of the 19th century, and was repaired and modified several times. The 5-arch bridge originally consisted of 7 separate sections spanning the width of the river. Today, the bridge is one of the newest bridges in the city because of the repairs it went through, and it is a vital passage for the city.
