Probably the oldest arched bridge in Samos, builded on the Imvrassos ancient river. According the Greek Mythologie the goddess Hera was born near to this river under a Wicker tree.
In 2005 the Greek State and the EC spend some 85.000 Euros to renovate any damages.
So today you can see it in a good shape.
I am so sorry. The defacement looks like the work of Americans.

It is a beautiful bridge. I don't know the people who defaced it, but I apologize for their behavior. I am happy you can extend grace to them, though.

ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty bridge, but sad to see the defacement. I do not understand why people do the things they do. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI loved Nirvana, but that does not give anyone right to deface public property.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the graffiti. Otherwise the bridge is a national treasure, worth keeping in good condition.
ReplyDeleteGreat bridge which is unfortunately marred by that graffiti.

It's a beautiful bridge and the renovation is very well done. I hope the municipality will erase that graffiti soon. Have a nice week! :-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bridge! Unfortunately there are always people who can't resist the urge to do that.
