Evliya Çelebi narrates Pisyar Bridge
The famous itinerant Evliya Çelebi calls these bridges as inn and declares that the passengers were resting.
Çelebi, “Inside these doors, on the right and left, there are inns, in line with the base of the bridge. The arrivals and departures are hosted. Under the belt of the bridge, there are many cells. They feature entertaining balconies with iron windows. Some of the guests chat with the people on the other side of the arch, others catch fish. To the right and left of this bridge there are also a number of windowed cells.”
