Old Bridge of Dezful
The Old Bridge of Dezful is located near the city of Dezful in South Western Iran. This bridge connects the western and eastern part of the city of Dezful.
The foundation for the bridge is said to be 1700 years old and goes back to the Sassanid dynasty and accounts for one of the ancient bridges in the world. The bridge was founded by the order of the Sassanid king, Shapoor I, using seventy Roman prisoners of war. The bridge has been repaired and rebuilt over the years by King Azdodole Deilami, Saffavid and Pahlavi dynasties. The bridge currently has four large arches, and between every two of these is a smaller arch. Near the bridge, remnants of ancient mills can be observed.
