    Description

    Irgandı Bridge
    II. It was built by Hodja Muslihuddin, son of Ali, in 1442, during the reign of Murad. Hoca Muslihuddin was one of the important merchants of the period who sold the silk he bought from Azerbaijan to Italian merchants. It is known that merchants also built buildings for trade purposes within the scope of the construction activities that played a role in Bursa becoming an important trade center in the 15th century. Irgandı Bridge, built with the arasta above it and the barns and warehouses inside the main structure of the bridge, is one of them. The architect of the bridge is known as Timurtaş, son of Abdullah.

    It is one of the four arcade bridges in the world, along with the Vecchio and Rialto Bridges in Italy and the Osma Bridge in Bulgaria.

    It is the third bridge from top to bottom, located over Gökdere and connecting the city center to the east.

    It is known that the bridge was made of masonry when it was first built, and there were 16 sections on both sides, a total of 31 shops, 1 masjid, and warehouse and stable sections at its feet.

    Today, the main structure of the bridge consists of an arch with a span of 16 meters and a width of 11 meters, and there are interior spaces covered with vaults on both sides of the arch. The 18 shops in the bazaar are built with a wooden frame system, they extend towards Gökdere with bay windows supported by buttresses, and some of them have warehouses underneath.

    Irgandı Bridge became an open-air bazaar with wooden shops lined up side by side in the second half of the 19th century. In 1922, while the occupation forces were leaving Bursa, they bombed and destroyed the bridge. The bridge, which was rebuilt in reinforced concrete without the arcade in 1949, was reconstructed in 2004 and returned to its original state.
