Dicle Bridge is a historical bridge in Diyarbakır over the Tigris River (Turkish: Dicle).
It numbers ten arches with a total length of 178 m (584 ft). That is why it is known to people as the ''Ten Arches Bridge or Ten-Eyed Bridge ''.
The bridge was commissioned by Nizamüddin and Müeyyidüddevle during the Kurdish dynasty, Marwanids era (990–1085) in Diyarbakır.
Was built by architect Ubeyd the son of Sancar in 1065.
The material used in its construction is basalt stone (black volcanic stone). South of the Diyarbakır, outside the Mardin Gate, and 3 km from the city.
There are cafes, restaurants and seating areas on the left and right sides of the Tigris River and its bridge.
A nice place to spend time in the evening.
