The Saraçhane Bridge (Saraçhane Köprüsü), also known as the Sultan's Bridge, Şahabettin Paşa–Sultan Mustafa Bridge or Horozlu Köprüsü (Rooster Bridge) is an Ottoman bridge across the Tunca river in Edirne, Turkey. The bridge was built in 1451 (H. 855) on the direction of Şahabettin Paşa, the Beylerbey of Rumelia in the court of Sultan Murad II. It is 120 meters long and 5 meters wide, with 11 piers and 12 arches. The bridge was repaired during the reign of Sultan Mustafa II in 1706 (H. 1113).[1][2]
