This modern bridge carries a name steeped in local memory. Theogefeion recalls the celebrated natural arch that once spanned the Thyamis River in Epirus, a landmark of the Zitsa municipality and the Ioannina region. That remarkable formation, shaped by nature rather than hands, collapsed on 8 February 2018 under intense rainfall. The present bridge, recorded as an archaeological site, keeps the old name alive, offering travelers a crossing that is both practical and a quiet act of remembrance for a lost wonder of the landscape.
