摘要：In the Greek geographical area, there are many hundreds of arched bridges, which have been constructedwith traditional methods and materials, from antiquity to the period of the interwar, when the generalized use ofreinforced concrete began in the technical works. Most of the stone bridges are no longer used; some are located inremote and inaccessible mountainous locations, while few are still offering their services for the passage of people,animals and vehicles over rivers and streams.The technique of bridges has been developed in Greece since ancient times, with a different but every-time style ofconstruction. In Crete and the Peloponnese (mainly in Argolida), stone bridges are preserved from the Minoan andMycenaean periods, respectively, which are structured with the freestanding system, ie with stone walls, leaving atriangular shaped hole with the top upwards The passage of water. The construction of the circular arc to bridging thegap between two vertical structural elements is not an unknown technique in ancient Greece. However, few stonearched bridges from the Classical and Hellenistic periods are preserved in the Greek space.
