An Entity of Type: Arch bridge, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Old Bridge (Turkish: Eski Köprü), also known as the Old Tigris Bridge, is a ruined four-arch bridge spanning the Tigris River in the town of Hasankeyf in Batman Province in southeastern Turkey. It was built by the Artuqid Turkmens in the mid-12th century, between about 1147 and 1167, and at the time its central arch was one of the largest in the world, if not the largest. The bridge was repaired by Ayyubid Kurdish and Aq Qoyunlu Turkmen rulers during the 14th and 15th centuries and appears to have eventually collapsed in the early or mid-17th century. The bridge's ruined piers still stand (two of them in the Tigris River), as does one arch. Since 2020 the ruins of the bridge, along with most of the town of Hasankeyf, have been submerged underwater by the filling of the Ilısu Dam reserv

  • Die Alte Brücke (türkisch Eski Köprü), auch Alte Tigris-Brücke über den Tigris in Hasankeyf in der türkischen Provinz Batman wurde zwischen 1147 und 1167 von den Ortoqiden errichtet. Nach Zerstörungen wurde die Brücke von den Ayyubiden und den Aq Qoyunlu im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert instand gesetzt und stürzte wahrscheinlich Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts ein. Von der einstmals vierbogigen Steinbrücke sind heute nur die Brückenpfeiler und ein kleinerer Bogen erhalten. Im Jahr 2020 wurden Stadt und Brücke im Rahmen eines Staudammprojekts durch Aufstauung des Tigris überflutet. (de)

dbp:text
  • Going to the city from this market, one crosses the river on a magnificent stone bridge, which is wonderfully built, and in my opinion has no superior. It has five lofty, wide, solid arches; the one in the middle is built on a firm foundation of stones, two and three paces long and more than one pace broad. This foundation is so large that it is about twenty paces in circumference, made in the form of a column, and sustains the central arch, being fixed in the middle of the river. The arch is so wide and lofty that a vessel of three hundred tons, with all its sails set, can pass under it; and in truth, many a time when I have been standing on it and looking down into the river, the great height has made me shudder. But while I recollect it I will say that I consider three things in Persia to be great marvels—this bridge of Asanchif, the palace of Assambei Sultan and the castle of Cimischasac. (en)
