Akköprü
Italy
A 13th century stone bridge (the oldest in Ankara) built by the Seljuk Turks spanning the Çubuk River. Despite its name (Turkish for "white bridge"), it is made of local reddish stones that are so ubiquitously used in Ankara's other major old buildings. Once on the trade route between Istanbul and B
aghdad through Ankara, it is now engulfed by suburban development on all sides, and may not worth the effort of heading there just for the sake of it unless you are really enthusiastic about old stone bridges, but drop by if you are around for nearby Ankamall or the Etlik bus station, where minibuses for nearby towns depart from.
