Marnan Bridge is a historic arch bridge spanning a waterway in Isfahan County, Iran, and stands as a designated Iranian National Heritage site. Built during the Safavid era, the bridge displays characteristic features of Safavid architecture and is constructed of saruj (a traditional mortar), brick, and stone. Though the visible structure dates to the Safavid period, archaeological evidence suggests its foundations may be considerably older, possibly originating in the Sasanian era, making it a palimpsest of Iranian engineering traditions spanning centuries.
