 The
Bridge of Stone
Spean Thmar
is located 200 meters (656
feet) east of Thommanon.
Access: Walk to the side of
the road and down the path.
Background
Spean Thma is a bridge
constructed of reused blocks
of sandstone of varying
shapes and sizes, which
suggests it was built to
replace an earlier one. The
orientation of the bridge
seems odd because the course
of the river has changed.
The river one flows along
the right side of the bridge
of under its arches.
Layout
The bridge is supported on
massive pillars, the
openings between them
spanned by narrow corbel
arches. There are reportedly
traces of 14 arches. |
