Ponti di pietra a Zagori

Zagori's Stone Bridges

The stone bridges of Zagori represent a peak of 18th and 19th-century craftsmanship in the Epirus region. These masterfully engineered structures, ranging from single to triple arches, were built by local craftsmen to connect the isolated villages of the Pindus Mountains. Spanning the Voidomatis and Aoos rivers and their tributaries, these bridges utilize local limestone to blend with the rugged landscape of the Vikos-Aoos National Park.
