Iran - First Sun Rays on Sio-Seh Pol bridge over the Zayandeh River in Esfahan
Isfahan or Esfahan (Persian: اصفهان Esfahān, Old Persian: Aspadāna, Middle Persian: Spahān), historically also rendered in English as Ispahan or Hispahan, is located about 340 km south of Tehran and is the capital of Isfahan Province and Iran's third largest city (after Tehran and Mashhad). It is famous for its Islamic architecture, with many beautiful boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques, and minarets.
The bridges over the river include some of the nicest architecture in Isfahan. One of those extraordinary bridges in Isfahan is the Sio-Seh Pol (thirty three Arches), also called Allahverdikhan Pol (Allahverdi Bridge), after the architect who built it in 1600 and who was also Abbas the Great’s Army Chief. The bridge is about 300 meters in length. A row of delicate arcades (about 100 of them) lightens its silhouette and lengthens its lines.

I wish I knew you were in Isfahan for showing you more places in my city.
you are lucky for seeing the river with water ;) they had opened the water recently after one year of drought.
thanks for the description. Are you still here?
