Saraçhane Köprüsü

The Saraçhane Köprüsü, (Sultan's Bridge), Şahabettin Pasha–Sultan Mustafa Bridge or Horozlu Köprüsü (Rooster Bridge), an Ottoman bridge across the Tunca river in Edirne. The bridge was built in 1451 on the direction of Şahabettin Pasha, the Beylerbey of Rumelia in the court of Sultan Murad II (r. 1421–44, and then 1446–51). It is 120 metres long and 5 metres wide, with 11 piers and 12 arches. The bridge was repaired during the reign of Sultan Mustafa II in 1706.
