The Murat Bridge was built in the Seljuk period. Its exact date is not known and Türkiye's tourism agency does not offer one.
The measurements are substantial: 143 metres long, 4.77 metres wide, and standing 16 to 18 metres above the river.
The agency records the bridge as still carrying traffic rather than standing as a ruin.
