Contents [show]
This is a picture of a bridge in Andros. The drawing, made in 1840, is of a British traveller. Even though he presumed that the bridge was constructed by the Franks, it seems to be much older, of the 17th century.
The dimensions of the arc are:
Opening: 8,90 m.
Maximum Height: 6 m.
Width: 1.34-1.40 m.
Width of piers: 2.32-2.35 m.
