I love this shot because there are virtually no people there. It was packed when I visited but still got some good shots. Did they tell you the height difference from one end to the other is 2 inches.

We went at about 4pm, most tourists were gone, only the locals who come over to swim were there with a bottle of wine, bread and some cheese. A lovely mood and no crowd looking at and visiting the bridge, those people see it every day 😄 2 inches difference!! amazing construction, and so sturdy too!!

Good shot, Christina. Thank you for sharing the history as well. I believe that the stones were cut that precisely that no mortar was required. Those Romans, Greeks and Egyptians knew how to build !
