HATON BRIDGE
Between the surrounding mountains of the village of Grammatiko and Sesi lies the beautiful preserved stone bridge of Haton (Iaton) build in 1892.
As the largest arched bridge of Attica it was constructed to serve the train line of the Italian metal mines for the transportation of metals to the small harbor of Limniona from where it was shipped for export to Germany.
