Saraçhane Bridge
Saraçhane Köprüsü
A 15th-century Ottoman stone bridge over the Tunca River, which together with the Kanuni and Gazi Mihal bridges forms a riverside walking route.
Edirne is encircled by the Tunca and Meriç rivers, and the city still preserves several Ottoman-era stone bridges. Saraçhane Bridge, built in 1451, links the city with the Sarayiçi palace area and has an old pavilion on it. Nearby are the Kanuni Bridge (1554), designed by Sinan, and Gazi Mihal Bridge (1420), the oldest bridge in the west of the city. Walking along the river from the Bayezid II Complex to the palace ruins, then returning to town via Kanuni Bridge, makes a pleasant half-day stroll. It is free.
