The Bridge of Arta ((ギリシア語:Γεφύρι της Άρτας)) is a stone bridge that crosses the Arachthos river (Άραχθος) in the west of the city of Arta (Άρτα) in Greece. It has been rebuilt many times over the centuries, starting with Roman or perhaps older foundations; the current bridge is probably a 17th-century Ottoman construction. The folk ballad "The Bridge of Arta" tells a story of human sacrifice during its building. From the ballad, a number of Greek proverbs and customary expressions arose, associated with interminable delays, as in the text of the ballad: "All day they were building it, and in the night it would collapse." ==History== According to the Epirote chronicler Panayiotis Aravantinos, the bridge was first built under the Roman Empire. Some traditions say it was rebuilt when Arta became capital of the Despotate of Epirus, possibly under Michael II Doukas (1230–1271). The current version is Ottoman, probably from 1602-1606 or perhaps 1613.〔Leontis 1999〕 From 1881-1912, the highest point of the bridge was the border between the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Greece.〔
