1. Moldavian campaign and Prut bridge

    · Prut River, Moldavia (present-day Moldova-Romania border)

    During the Moldavian campaign, Sinan built a bridge for the Ottoman army across the Prut after earlier bridge attempts failed; the episode became central to accounts of his appointment as chief architect. The exact crossing point is not specified; coordinate is a defensible representative point on the Prut in the Moldavian campaign area.
