The Nonoulo’s stone bridge replaced the original wooden bridge that represented the connection between rural settlements Dolo and Pogoniani in the Kouvaras valley. The Nonoulo’s Bridge was built in 1908. The main material used for construction was crushed stone. The perimeter of the arch and the top of the parapet, which represents the fence aligned to the same vertical plane as spandrel walls, are made of hewn stone blocks, i.e., the tiles. The height of the arch opening of Nonoulo’s bridge amounts to 7 meters. The side walls are curved, which narrows the width of the access road towards the structure of the bridge, and enhances the overall aesthetic quality. Curved parapet crown with the previously described elements softens the form of an otherwise typical single arch stone bridge structure.
