Ali Pasha’s bridge

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.
