The river of Arachthos admits its own great beauty and as an experienced walker, as you can hear it rolling, it tells you for its beauty. The bridge of Arta stands proud of its history, for all that it saw, but for the plumulate truths that it hides as well.
In the summer of 1863, in the settlement of Raftanaiwn in Plaka, people who lived there were celebrating for the new bridge, until it broke down again the same day.
A great craftman , kwstas Mpekas, from Pramanta, whose name was linked with the manufacture of the other bridges of the region, worked hard to build the bridge again for third time.
Its manufacture took nearly three months, 180.000 grosses, among them and a sponsoring from Anastasios Lytras and were used egg white from 20.000 eggs.
With two arcs in its both sides the bridge is known not only for its beauty, but for its admirable architecture as well. Many bridges of region fell with the passage of time and possible river. The Arachthos is a sneaky river that eats the bases and drifts everything in his passage. But this bridge is based on its own foundations, on its own bases and with this maturity stands in the bigger opening of the river, gaining worthy its place in the region and the history.
