Caravan Bridge (Turkish: Kervan Köprüsü) is an ancient bridge in the city of İzmir, Turkey. It was built in approximately 850 BC over the Meles river, and is one of the oldest man-made structures in continuous use.[1] In antiquity, the River Meles was said to be the birthplace of Homer, and both the river and the bridge were featured in Homer's work.
