The Cendere Bridge is a Roman vaulted arch bridge built during the latter first or early second century CE by the Flavian Sixteenth Legion (legio XVI Flavia firma). It carries a Roman road over a mountain stream called Cendere Su just before it reaches the larger Kahta Cay. There are inscriptions honoring Roman emperor Septimius Severus (r. 193-211 CE) on the columns.
Three of four of the original pillars that marked the ends of the bridge remain standing. The arch spans 34.2 meters and is semicircular with a slight point at its apex.
