Hello everyone,
The Allahverdi Khan Bridge , popularly known as Si-o-se-pol  is the largest of the eleven historical bridges on the Zayanderud, the largest river of the Iranian Plateau, in Isfahan, Iran.
Si-o-se-pol was built between 1599 and 1602, under the reign of Abbas the Great, the fifth emperor of Safavid Iran. It was constructed under the supervision of Allahverdi Khan, the commander-in-chief of the armies, who was of Georgian origin, and was also named after him.

The bridge has a total length of 297.76 metres (976.9 ft) and a total width of 14.75 metres (48.4 ft). It is a vaulted arch bridge consisting of two superimposed rows of 33 arches, from whence its popular name of Si-o-se-pol comes, and is made of stone. The longest span is about 5.60 metres .

The river is dammed upstream to provide water for Yazd province.
