This one! The Mycenaean bridge of Kazarma!
It was part of a military road, connecting Tiryns and Epidauros, built around 1,300–1,200 BCE by the Mycenaeans.
It is constructed from limestone boulders without binding material, the characteristic Cyclopean way of Mycenaeans, with a corbel arch. Still in use!

Width: 2,5m
