The Si-o-se Pol, officially known as the Allahverdi Khan Bridge, is a monumental stone and brick structure spanning the Zayanderud in Isfahan, Iran. Built in 1599 as the largest of eleven historical bridges crossing the river, it was designed to function simultaneously as a bridge and a dam. Its name refers to its thirty-three arches, a defining feature of its Safavid architectural style. Constructed during the early 17th century from brick and stone, the bridge remains an Iranian National Heritage site and a landmark testament to the sophisticated hydraulic engineering and architectural ambitions of Safavid-era Isfahan.
