From Via Militaris to Ottoman Times: A Brief History and A Restoration Proposal for the Büyükkarıştıran Bridge

Öz

The settlements in Thrace have hosted various communities since prehistoric times. From 600 AD, the Roman Empire ruled the region, leaving behind numerous architectural structures. Among these, the one that stands out is Via Militaris, a military road connecting Rome to Constantinople via Belgrade (Singidunum). This route remained in use for nearly 2,000 years and was later repaired and maintained by the Ottoman Empire. Travelers’ records from the 13th and 14th centuries confirm that Via Militaris was well-preserved, with bridges built and repaired over time. Given the strategic importance of Thrace, bridge construction likely started early, especially across rivers in the Ergene Basin. The Büyükkarıştıran Bridge, reflecting classical 16th-century Ottoman architectural features, is attributed to Sinan the Architect in monument inventories. However, a reevaluation suggests its origins might predate Sinan’s era due to the region’s military and economic significance. Its complex structure indicates major renovations during the 16th century. This study documents the bridge’s deterioration that have been altered by interventions carried out during different periods and presents a restoration project designed to guide future conservation efforts. The restoration project aims to preserve the structure’s original characteristics, ensuring they are passed on to future generations.
