Spanning the Haraz River in Amol, Iran, Davazdah Cheshmeh (also known as Davazdah Pelleh or historically as Haraz Bridge) is a Safavid-era arch bridge constructed primarily of brick, lime mortar, and plaster. Rising 6 meters in height and stretching 127.4 meters in length, it is the longest bridge crossing the Haraz River and connects the eastern and western sectors of the city from its central location. Though an earlier structure existed on the site, the bridge was completed during the reign of Abbas the Great and stands as an Iranian National Heritage monument representative of Safavid architectural achievement in the region.
