A SMALL BRIDGE
The monument lies over a shallow tributary, which merges into the river Voskepar from the right side, 1.2 km west of the village of the same name, at an altitude of 808 metres above sea level (N 41°03.48.48´´; E 045°02.13.20´´).
It represents two identical narrow, slightly irregular vaults built within 3 metres of one another. Each of them has a span of 2.70 metres and a passage of a width of 4.35 metres. Most probably, they used to be joined together by means of beams.
The bridge is built of undressed stone and mortar. Its masonry and building features seem to be more typical of the Late Middle Ages, but it might have been erected in the High Middle Ages, particularly between the 12th and 13th centuries.
