Editor's Note
Uzunköprü (meaning Long Bridge), formerly Cisr-i Ergene, is a 15th-century Ottoman stone bridge over the River Ergene in Edirne Province, claimed to be the world's longest stone bridge and connecting Anatolia with the Balkans. It gave its name to the nearby town of Uzunköprü. Built between 1426 and 1444 under Sultan Murad II, it was originally 1,392 metres long with 174 arches, and its stones bear figures and motifs. It was repaired after earthquakes and floods, and widened to 6.80 metres in 1971.
