Hi everybody
This view is from under Khajo bridge in Isfehan.This bridge was built by Shah Abbas the second of the Safavid dynasty on the ruins of Hassan Baik bridge in 1650 or 1655.The bridge has been known with a variety of titles including Pol-e-Shahi, Pol-e-Khaju, Pol-e-Baba Rokneddin, and Pol-e-Gabrha. The bridge is 105 meters long and 14 meters wide. The passway of the bridge is 7.5 meters wide, made of bricks and stones with 21 larger and 26 smaller inlet and outlet channels. The pieces of stone used in this bridge are over 2 meters long and the distance between every channel and the ceiling base is 20 meters. The existing inscriptions suggest that the bridge was repaired in 1873.
Hope you enjoyed.
