Khajoo Bridge

Another amazing historical bridge in the city of Isfahan. It helped to have my Iranian partner and his family with me, to explain the history and the various spaces at the bridge. We visited on a weekday evening - it was decently busy. I recommend walking under the bridge in the evening as you will hear amazing singers taking advantage of the acoustics in the space.

The Khaju Bridge is one of the historical bridges on the Zayanderud, the largest river of the Iranian Plateau, in Isfahan, Iran.

Serving as both a bridge and a weir, it links the Khaju quarter on the north bank with the Zoroastrian quarter across the Zayanderud.

The bridge served a primary function as a building and a place for public meetings in the past, It has been described as the city's finest bridge.

The Khaju Bridge was built around 1650, under the reign of Abbas II, the seventh Safavid Shah of Iran, on the foundations of an older bridge. The existing inscriptions suggest that the bridge was repaired in 1873.

It was definitely a nice site with a unique architecture for a bridge.

Very nice Isfahan’s landmark, it is not just a bridge, it is surrounded with an amazing parks, gardens, children’s playgrounds on both sides, the people of Isfahan are strolling around and the kids swimming in the river there, and it is good to take some pictures.

A great place to relax and enjoy man made things. After about 500 years have passed since the construction of this astonishing bridge, it still fascinates everyone. Definitely recommended👌

One of the must see places... go there by night bridge with all the lights looks magnificent. Most of the time there is no water and you can go even under the bridge. A perfect place for a nice photo session

The Khaju Bridge is a historical bridge on the Zayanderud River, located in Isfahan, Iran. The bridge was built in the 17th century by the Persian Safavid king, Shah Abbas II, and it has since become one of the city's most famous landmarks.

The bridge is renowned for its beautiful architecture, featuring a series of arches and pavilions that stretch over two levels. The lower level of the bridge was designed for the passage of water, while the upper level was created for pedestrians, with seating areas and pavilions for recreation.

One of the unique features of the Khaju Bridge is its iconic stained glass windows, which reflect the light beautifully and create stunning patterns on the water below. The bridge also features a number of inscriptions and poems written in Persian calligraphy.

Today, the Khaju Bridge is a popular tourist destination and a symbol of the rich cultural history of Isfahan. It provides visitors with a unique blend of Persian architecture, stunning views of the Zayanderud River, and a tranquil atmosphere that makes it a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Isfahan.

Great place to be especially in the evening or at night. Unfortunately in the summer there's no water running under the bridge. There are parks around the river banks and if you have some time to waste, you can just walk from one bridge to the other.

A must visit place. It looks stunning and local people gather here all the time. They also come here to sing under the arches, which was very nice to here

It is one of the historical places of Isfahan, which is very beautiful and must be visited by every tourist. Spending time in this place is very pleasant and relaxing. Of course, part of its beauty is related to Zayandeh Rood. I hope that the river will always be full of water so that there will be vitality in the city.

One of the many historic bridges in Isfahan, this place is a must see, especially at night. There are ALWAYS crowds of people singing songs and enjoying the views (even when there is no water in the river!). There are many photograph worthy moments there, on the main level, it's sides, thr openings, the level bellow, etc. The lighting at night complements the architecture.

I enjoy spending my time at Khaju Bridge, and if you happen to be in the area in the afternoon, I highly recommend treating yourself to saffron ice cream from the shop on Khaju Street. It's the perfect way to savor a beautiful sunset and soak in the wonderful atmosphere.

The jewellery in the Zayanderood river. Both splendid in daytime and night.
Highly recommended for visiting at night where singers are singing live on the bottom of the bridge's nests.

A beautiful bridge of historic value and artistic look. So bad that the river has dried up. The arches give a special view.In my opinion it should be visited at night as lights give a very impressive look . The road leading to it is also beautiful. We parked on the roadside. There are few Cafe on roadside that sell hot and cold drinks and fast food as well. For tourist 1 hour is enough to see around and take some good snaps. It's open 24 hours so it can be fixed in at any plan easily.

Very old and nice bridge with lovely architecture.if you travel to Esfahan don’t miss it

Very nice and ancient bridge from Safavi’s age

Such an outstanding river bridge. Design and architecture of super beautiful and authentic, something you can see only in Iran and Isfahan.

Khaju Bridge is not just one bridge of Isfahan but it is most famous bridge in Iran and has been selected among the 10 most beautiful bridges in the world. It also works as a dam using hatches located on the columns. It remain busy with local Iranians during day and evening. The atmosphere looks more beautiful with flowing water of Zayande river but when it dries up, it looks boring to me.
In the evening, lighting creates a majical effects. Good place to visit during day and during evening too.
