The Saraçhane Bridge, also known as the Sultan's Bridge or Rooster Bridge, is a stone arch bridge spanning the Tunca River in Edirne, Turkey. Built in 1451 under the direction of Şahabettin Pasha, Beylerbey of Rumelia, during the reign of Sultan Murad II, this Ottoman structure stretches 120 meters in length and 5 meters in width, supported by 11 piers and 12 arches. The bridge underwent significant repair during the reign of Sultan Mustafa II in 1706, ensuring its continued service across the waterway.
