Paskevich bridge

Sightseeing

Paskevich bridge is located in the Vayots Dzor region of Armenia, southwest of the city of Vayk. Kajberuni writes about the bridge. a broad limestone wall rises from the large slab of the riverbed, equidistant from the two rocks. The wall at the top terminates in two rooms, the doors and windows of which are visible. The roof of the rooms was the floor of the bridge, which was certainly made of wood. Now the wooden floor is gone. According to Kajberuni, the bridge does not have a name, but the people, for some reason, call it the Paskevich bridge. V. Harutyunyan notes that it was built in the 17th century. The locals believe that the bridge was built for strategic purposes.
