ioannina Greece At the point where the provincial road from Burazani to Molyvdoskepasto approaches the river Aoos, there are the ruins of the now-damaged stone bridge. The bridge is built at a strategic point and is believed to have been its first foundation here in the 7th century AD. century, under Constantine Pogonatos. Observing today's gloomy remnants of the old bridge, we must bear in mind a large three-arched bridge, with its central arc larger than two extremes and its unusual peculiarity, which was its flat passageway. The bridge was blown up by the Greek army in 1940 during the Italian invasion and a few years later (1944) its destruction by the German army was completed. ioannina greece epirus konitsa burazani molivdoskepasti
