Manoura Bridge
Manoura Bridge
The arch of Manouras is located in the Amari province, below Chordaki, at the confluence of the Lygiotis River (or Elektra) with the stream Mounouchos (which collects the waters from Gerakari and brings them to Ambadia through the valley of Vryses – Ano Meros), in the location of Metochi Manoura – Mylos – Faneromeni.
The bridge is made of stone with four arches whose spans differ. This was apparently for the pedestals to be founded on the stony parts of the river bed. The arches are made of semi-hewn stones of hard limestone, while the pedestals and fillings are mudstones. Both the shape of the arches and the construction are strongly reminiscent of the Epirus bridges. It has not been possible though to find evidence in the literature in order for us to date its construction with certainty.
