Isfahan is endowed with no less than 11 bridges crisscrossing the dried out Zayandeh River – five of which are protected historical monuments. These bridges are popular places for locals to gather at any time of day, but especially in the evening, as the bridges are perfectly lit up. The Si-o-Seh Pol bridge is a perennial favorite, and the longest, — though nearby Pol-e Khaju may well be the finest bridge in Iran. At least in our humble opinion. You also won’t want to miss Pol-e Shahrestan, which is the oldest dating back to the 12th century or Pol-e Chubi with its interior parlors used by the shah and his concubines.
