“Si O Se Pol” Means 33 bridges, and really this Safavid era historical bridge has 33 bridges.
This bridge belongs to the seventeenth century, ie the Safavid era, and is the largest bridge on the “Zayandeh Rood” River in Isfahan city.
“Si-O-Se Pol” (Thirty-three bridges) were built on the widest part of the “Zayandehrud” River in 1599 BC.
The original length of the bridge was 360 meters with 40 springs or arches to cross the water, but today the length of the bridge is 298 meters and the number of springs or arches is 33 anus, which is why it is called by this name.
The bridge has two pedestrian crossings, one in the middle of the bridge and the other below it, just above the water level, which can be used when the water level is low.
This is a lovely construction @SohrabPourkhalili a very impressive bridge. Thank you for sharing. Do you have an interest in architecture and civil construction or do you just appreciate the shapes and forms?

@SohrabPourkhalili great architectural work and excellent photos, interesting information … how was the length of the bridge reduced?
