Editor's Note
This is a work of the Karamanid period, built in the first half of the 14th century. The bridge, whose architect is unknown, bears an inscription at its entrance. Designed with three arches, the Bicakci Bridge is about 90 metres long and 5 metres wide. The widest arch span reaches 15 metres, and its two smaller arches both sit on dry land. Round relief openings were also placed on either side of the main arch. As on most historic bridges, the cutwaters on the upstream side are triangular, while those on the downstream side are built in a rounded form.
