Bridge of Agista

Μετάφραση Greek Version

Bridge of Agista

The old stone bridge of Agista is located close to the Agista train station. It spans over the Agitis river and it consists of five pointed arches, four of which are visible today. This bridge is the only arched bridge in Eastern Macedonia. The stone bridge is oriented from north to south and is built of carved poros stones connected with strong plaster. The bridge dates from antiquity while the last phase of the project dates back to the early Ottoman period. Its continuous use since antiquity proves its importance as it has been connecting the southern fertile plain with the northern and western foothills of Mt. Paggaio.
