At the Stone bridge (to the right, the citadel is looming ahead. To the left another hamam). About the bridge: During the public works started in 1579 by Lala Mustafa Pasha dispatched to Kars by the Ottoman Sultan, Murad III, this bridge was built of clean-cut basalt stones. It was ruined by a flood, and re-built in 719 by Karahanoğlu Hacı Ebubekir Bey. This bridge is built on two stands and has three water passes, and still in service. The structure was registered and placed under preservation status.
