THE BRIDGES OF ARTSAKH
Bridge of Yekeghetsadzor (Kilisadara)
The bridge (span length: 5.50 metres) lies over a stream named Yekeghetsadzori Joor (i.e. River of the Church Gorge), 6.5 kilometres south-west of Banants Village, Karhat (Dashkesan) District, Northern Artsakh—a region that suffered deportation of its Armenian population in 1988 and has been annexed to Azerbaijan since then. It represents a single-span vaulted structure dating back to the 18th century. In 1932 the bridge was repaired by Hovhannes Gyurjian (Gurjunts Hovhan).
