I think I found a clue, just want to ask your comments:

"The big and long bridges sometimes has a stone sofa in the middle, backed by a high wall in the form of a portal decorated with ornamental patterns and containing inscriptions about the construction of the bridge."

Is this what the "kitabe k��k�" means?

Hangi k�pr�?
Drena �zerinde, Sokollu K�pr�s� olarak da bilinen, Mimar Sinan taraf�ndan yap�lan k�pr�...
Why I don't like stela?
Because it means tombstone, pillar. It may be used as an equivalent for "Kitabe" but I don't think it wholly covers the term "kitabe k��k�". There is an epigraph on most of the bridges, indicating the date which it was built, BUT it is only a "kitabe". And the book of Ivo Andri� talks about a place on the bridge where people meet, discuss subjects... etc. There must be a place on the bridge like a terrace, balcony..., I don't know. But I feel that it is not just called stela. The thing is, this is a dubbing translation for a documentary which I am not able to watch yet. I don't want to use a word unrelated with what the spectators see on the film... (As we usually witness in subtitles of films)Yet there will be a "stela" on the screen for sure, then I think I will �se it if I cannot find another solution. Thank you all for your contributions.

There is no balustrade shown in the picture of the bridge but there is projecting part in the middle of the bridge which is likely to be a "platform" (neither do I like this word and I swear I will abandon it as soon as I find a more satisfying equivalent!) I asked the client to provide me with more details.

I don't really think that it is a "tablet,plate or plaque" which is mentioned here. The author talks about a "place" on the bridge where people share ideas. Yet, I cannot find any Turkish explanation on the term which would help to understand what it really is...

"The Bridge on the Drina"dan yola �karak Ivo Andrić'in kitab�nda " � a platform mid-way across the bridge, where suffering, anxiety, hope, joy, past and future converge." c�mlesine rastlad�m, Sevin� Han�m'�n verdi�i linkte de b�yle bir platform var gibi g�z�k�yor. Daha net bir kar��l�k �nerilmezse san�r�m bu ifadeyi (a platform mid-way across the bridge) kullanaca�m ama emin de�ilim hala...
