Greece is full of stone bridges that count centuries of life. You will find them in Epirus, Thessaly, and all over Greece since they served a basic purpose, that of serving people as they wanted to go from one village to another or from one side of a river to the other. The craftsmen of Epirus<\/strong>, in fact, built many of these bridges before they left for other countries and showed their art there. One of Greece’s bridges, however, has something special. This is because it is the oldest bridge in Europe that is still in use today. Few people know that he is in our country.<\/p>\n

The oldest bridge that still been used today
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The oldest bridge in Europe, which is still in use and is located in Greece, can be found in the Peloponnese<\/strong> and specifically fifteen kilometers away from Sparta<\/strong>. There, very close to the foothills of Mount Taygetos is the town of Xirokampi <\/strong>and there is also the gorge of Anakolos,<\/strong> at the exit of which flows the river Erasinos<\/strong>. The impressive bridge, which is 2,000 years old, connects its two banks. It is an impressive structural bridge in Greece and Europe in general. The bridge of Xirokampi<\/strong> dates back to the late Hellenistic period<\/strong> and is operational today.<\/p>\n
