Edirne is a city of many bridges, most of them spanning the Tunca. These stone bridges, mentioned in many folk songs, reflect the spatial and monumental concepts of contemporary Ottoman architecture. Those within the city are an integral part of the urban texture. The imposing beauty of Edirne´s bridges, some of which outside the city are the work of Mimar Sinan, were never matched elsewhere.
