Turkish ruins still bear the signs of glory. Diyarbakir has many of them which include the magnificent Eski Köprü Hasankeyf. It is a four-arch bridge over the Tigris in the Hasankeyf town. The visible portion of the bridge is at risk of being submerged under the water due to filling of a local dam.
The 200-metre Eski Köprü Hasankeyf was built in the 12th century by the Artuqid Turks between 1147 and 1172. The orders were furnished by King Fakhr ad-Din Qara Arslan in 1116 to replace a 5th century bridge built by Romans. The bridge was subsequently repaired in the 15th and the 16th century by Ayyubid Kurdish and Aq Qoyunlu Turkmen kings. Now only an arch with two piers survives following a collapse in 17th century.
