THE BRIDGES OF ARTSAKH

Bridge of Nerkishen

This single-span bridge extends over the river Sevjoor in Nerkishen (Shahumian) Township, the centre of Shahumian District—stripped of its Armenian population and annexed by Azerbaijan since 1992—Republic of Artsakh (RMK). Its remnants comprise the remains of its right-bank pier built of undressed pebble and mortar.

The building peculiarities of the monument trace it back to the period between the 17th and 18th centuries.
