These pictures I took walking from the south west-side of the Seyhan river (near the Otobüs Işletmeleri), towards the Taş Köprü (Stone Bridge, dating back to Roman times (oldest parts dating to the time of Hadrian 117-138 AD) and recently renovated, still in use as a pedestrian crossing and small scale market place), later crossing it after having taken some pictures of the general lay-out, with the Hilton hotel at the eastern side and the Central Mosque to the north on the west side.

Hello Dick, That is really nice to see the stonebridge was renovated, but i have some critics over the job was done... First of all the new stones look really different i mean very new... coulld sth be done for this? i guess yes...

Second thing, the stonebridge was lighten for a nice nightview after it was built but forgotten thing is to lighten upper walking side of the Bridge. At night i walked 2 times through the stonebridge but i was litle nervous because it was too dark.

Third thing, this is not supposed to be a market place, and it should be forbidden to sell sth here. But president Aytac Durak couldnot see those sellers over the Bridge. With those sellers over the bridge it looks ugly.

And last thing information panel of Taþköprü is too simple. I could not see a history, a name of emperor, nor name of architect, and its english translation also... That's too amateur.

But finally it is nice to see Taþköprü was restored and those things i tell could be solved easily.

Thank you for those photographs...
