The Niçë village bridge has been restored. As a result, it is now safe and no longer at risk of collapse.

The Pogradec Municipality called the restoration a new chapter for the historic Niçë Bridge.

Built in the 18th century, the bridge is a Category I Cultural Monument. In addition to serving as a pedestrian crossing, it is also a cultural attraction.

Located near the village of Niçë in the Gorë region, the bridge is made of stone and has a single arch. It was built over an older road that branched from the ancient Egnatia route, connecting Përrenjas with Gur i Kamjes, Niçë, and Llëngë.

The bridge itself spans a small stream. It is about 6 meters long and 3 meters high. According to local legend, similar to Rozafa Castle, a bride was supposedly walled into the bridge’s foundation to prevent it from collapsing.

The bridge lies approximately 15 km southwest of Pogradec.
