    Patras Roman Bridge

    7. november 2021, Grækenland ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    Like many archaeological sites, this bridge was buried and currently sits below the surrounding soil elevation. It was built in 2nd or 3rd century CE over the River Kalliaios that has since meandered to a new course nearby. It was part of the Roman Road in this region.
    These are all taken at the site except the last one. That one was taken at the archaeology museum (see another post) to show what it looked like when it was excavated.
    This is considered a 2 arch bridge, but there is a 3rd arch sitting at an angle. While I don't have confirmation, my guess is that this arch is over a tributary or other drainage into the river.
    Also note that the paving stones atop the bridge are original to the Roman builders.
