@article{2015,title={Beyşehir Weir (Stone Bridge)},abstractNode={There used to be various bridges over brooks and watercourses in many places located in urban and rural of Beyşehir from the Ottoman period on. Of many of the bridges we thought that is available at present, the first is the town bridge that is located in the point, where Beyşehir Watercourse emerges from lake. Within the scope of the project to drain Lake Beyşehir to Konya Plain in order to irrigate Konya Plain in the years 1908-1914, existing bridge was demolished and instead of it Beyşehir Weir (Stone Bridge) was built. Today, Beyşehir Weir, the most beautiful structure of Konya Plain Irrigation, was made of cut stone and it is 42 m long and 6.35 m wide. It consists of 15 eyes and 14 masonry piers; there are straps on the piers and movable lids on the eyes. The weir has become one of the indispensible historical and symbolic landmarks of Beyşehir with its stone architecture, especially with its gates, bridge floor, flood splitter and toes, with the shadow of the arch sequence falling on the surface of water and with its image in the moonlight and in the sunset. The Bridge has been registered to be protected as cultural assets with the Cultural Heritage Protection High Council Decision of 12/07/1980 and no. A-2280 and after building of the new bridge, it has been closed to vehicle traffic.},author={Hüseyin MUŞMAL},year={2015},journal={Journal of History School}}
