Irgandı Bridge

Irgandı Köprüsü

A shop bridge built in 1442. Craft shops line both sides, and it is one of the few shop bridges in the world still in use.

Irgandı Bridge spans the Gökdere River, with small shops on both sides selling glassware, ceramics, woodcarvings, shadow puppets and other crafts, making it a rare market on a bridge. The original bridge was destroyed during the War of Independence and was rebuilt to the original design in 2004. It sits between the old town and the Green Mosque, so it is on most walking routes. It is good for photos and small souvenirs. Crossing is free, and most shops are open during the day.
