Stone bridge in Langadia, Greece

sketchfab

This stone-made bridge was constructed in the late 19th century or early 20th century. It is part of the national road leading to Ancient Olympia (constructed in 1896-97) and is located in the east entrance of the town of Langadia, Peloponnese, Greece. It is a nice example of the traditional architecture as it evolved by the famous Langadian stone-masons. The bridge is very narrow making impossible for two cars to fit at the same time, so there was an urge of widening the road. Unfortunately no provisions were made to keep the original traditional form of the bridge and by the late summer of 2017 the bridge started to being covered by cement and new structures from both sides.
