This stone bridge was
built by Ali Pasha at the beginning of the 19th century. It is not a
particularly necessary bridge, in terms of connecting Gjirokastra with Dropull.
It was built for the purpose of water management. It follows the path of the
aqueduct and it has one graceful central arch with windows on both sides to
allow for water flow during floods. If you wish to get closer to the bridge,
just follow the path.
