The Sagori region is known for its stone bridges. The Kalogerikō-Plakīdas Bridge (Γεφύρι Καλογερικό Πλακίδα) with its three curved arches is probably the most famous of these. It was built in 1814 to replace a previous wooden structure at the instigation of Abbot Seraphim of the Elias Monastery in Vītsa (Kalogerikō refers to the monastery). In 1865, extensive repairs were required, which were financed by Alēxis and Andrēas Plakīdas (Αλέξιος και Ανδρέας Πλακίδας). Since then, the double name has been in use.

The bridge with the three arches is probably the most beautiful of the stone arch bridges in the Zagoria region and decorates various trademarks and advertising signs in a stylized form.

This bridge is also easy to reach by car.
