Greece - Vrosina, bridge

Some pictures of the stone single-arched stone bridge in Vrosina. Its construction was funded by the Makralexis Monastery The bridge crosses the river Zaloggitikos just before it flows into the Kalamas.

I estimate the bridge is dating back to the end of the 19th century, like a lot of other stone bridges in Epirus. But to be honest I couldn’t find much information about the bridge. Even two friendly and helpful Vrosina-women were not able to find important information about its history on the internet.

A lovely view with the pebble beach leading to the arch, a testament to the skill of the stone masons who built it

I love the triangular shape of the stones that acts as a lead-in line and takes the eye to the arch of the bridge. All the best, Joe

A simple yet beautiful old bridge...........obviously built when the river level was much higher. I'd sitting in lovely surroundings and I love the trees and other greenery, especially the plants that are growing on the bridge itself. Two more super images in the PiPs, which I also like very much.

Interesting stuff as always Jaap!

The architecture of this ancient bridge is very interesting and particular; may be earlier than the 19th century....
