About

This bridge was commissioned by a merchant in 1442 known as Müslihiddin.

Müslihiddin was a wealthy silk merchant who often traded with Italy, where the similar covered bridge Ponte Vecchio is located in Florence. Despite damage from an earthquake in 1854 and the Turkish War of Independence, it still fulfills its original role in the city's commerce today.
