The engraving depicts the invasion of Adana by Kavalali Ibrahim Pasha between 1832-1840. Stone Bridge, the symbolic structure of Adana, was built in Roman times with 21 eyes, but today the land part of the bridge is reduced with fillings and today it is 14 eyes. The bridge is located in the middle of the city and connects the districts of Seyhan and Yuregir.
