Spanning the Tajun River in North Savadkuh County, Iran, the Shapur Bridge is a stone arch structure rising 12 meters and constructed with saruj (traditional lime mortar) that exemplifies the architectural traditions of the Safavid and Qajar periods. Built as a road crossing, the bridge's durable materials and design reflect the engineering practices of these successive Persian dynasties and have earned it recognition as an Iranian National Heritage site.
