Historic Stone Bridges

These historic stone bridges represent the peak of traditional craftsmanship in Epirus, particularly within the Zagori region. Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, these arched structures were essential for connecting mountain villages across deep ravines and rivers like the Arachthos and Voidomatis. Constructed using local limestone without mortar, they feature distinct architectural styles ranging from single-span arches to rare triple-arched designs. Many are situated along ancient cobblestone paths once used by merchants and livestock.
