The Bridge of Arta

The Bridge of Arta is a stone bridge that crosses the Arachthos river ) in the west of the city of Arta in Greece. It has been rebuilt many times over the centuries, starting with Roman or perhaps older foundations; the current bridge is probably a 17th-century Ottoman construction.

The folk ballad "The Bridge of Arta" tells a story of human sacrifice during its building. "All day they were building it, and in the night it would collapse."
