The Bridge of Arta is a stone bridge crossing the Arachthos river in the west of the city of Arta in northwestern Greece. It has been rebuilt many times, beginning with Roman or possibly older foundations, and the current structure is probably a 17th-century Ottoman construction. A folk ballad tells of human sacrifice during its building, and from it arose Greek proverbs about interminable delays.
