THE BRIDGES OF ARTSAKH

Bridge of Dziasar

This single-span bridge extends across the river Hochants, north of Dziasar (Sonasar) Village, Kashatagh District, Republic of Artsakh (RMK). Its only vestige is its left-bank pier built of undressed stone and mortar. The cornerstones of the vault-bearing arch of the bridge are finely-finished. Its building features trace it back to the 12th to 13th centuries. It also bears the traces of some repairs carried out between the 16th and 17th centuries.

Span length: 8.40 metres; passage width: 2.80 metres.
