Description
The bridge of Arta is a stone bridge that crosses the Arachthos river in the west of the city of Arta in Epirus, northern Greece. It has been rebuilt many times, starting with Roman or perhaps older foundations; the latest bridge is probably a 17th-century Ottoman construction. In the print, the bridge of Arta is seen in distance with a group of Ottoman soldiers passing over it. Other soldiers are shown carrying out exercises with their weapons under the shadow of a huge plane tree, near the Arachthos river
