Felezi Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felezi Bridge (Persian: پل فلزی , literally Steel Bridge), was the first modern bridge built in the 1950s over the Zayandeh River in the city of Esfahan.

Most of the old bridges there belong to the Safavid era, built 300 to 400 years ago, (e.g. the Khaju, Si-o-se Pol, Joui, and Marnan). The oldest, is Shahrestan bridge, with its foundations belong to 5th century AD. More recent bridges include the Azar, Ferdosi , Bozorgmehr, and Ghadir bridges.
