Taşköprü is 310m in length made of solid stone. ( Taskopru simply means Stone Bridge). It is a Bridge built during the Roman era, spanning the River Seyhan in Adana that was probably built in the first half of the second century AD. The bridge was a key link in ancient trade routes from the Mediterranean Sea to Anatolia and Persia. The bridge was closed in 2007, and is one of the oldest bridges in the world open to motorised vehicles. Since 2007 it has only allowed pedestrians on it, and now hosts social and cultural events like musicians and small sales market stalls. Among the names used for the bridge during its history are the Saros Bridge, the Bridge of Justinian, the al-Walid Bridge and Taşköprü. Its definetly worth seeing while in Adana.
