Adana Taşköprü, also known as the Stone Bridge, is a historic bridge located in Adana, a city in southern Turkey. It spans the Seyhan River, which flows through the center of the city, and is one of the most iconic landmarks in Adana. The bridge was built during the Roman period, around the 4th century AD, and is one of the oldest bridges in the world that is still in use. It was originally constructed to connect the ancient city of Augusta to the other side of the river. Today, Adana Taşköprü is a popular tourist attraction and an important symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. It is also a vital transportation route, connecting the two sides of the city and serving as an important link between the Mediterranean and southeastern Turkey.
