Khajoo historical bridge: Visiting a bridge that has been used by pedestrians for hundreds of years.
The historic bridge of Khajo is located in the city of Isfahan in the country of Iran. Every day more than thousands of people cross this historical bridge because this bridge is located in the center of Isfahan and on the river Zayandeh Rood and connects the north and south of Isfahan.
Under the bridge of Khajoo, due to the echoing of the sound, round-the-clock concerts are held with the warm and pleasant voices of the people.
Also, one day a week, the ancient sport of zurkhaneh is held next to this beautiful bridge.
A beautiful coffee shop has been set up in the heart of Khajoo Bridge to invite you to drink a coffee or tea in the heart of history.
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.
History of Khajoo Bridge in Isfahan:
The Khajoo Bridge was built around 1650, under the reign of Abbas II, the seventh Safavid king (shah) of Iran, on the foundations of an older bridge. The existing inscriptions suggest that the bridge was repaired in 1873. There is a pavilion located in the center of the structure, inside which Abbas II would have once sat, admiring the view.Today, remnants of a stone seat is all that is left of the king's chair.
In words of Arthur Pope and Jean Chardin, Khaju is "the culminating monument of Persian bridge architecture and one of the most interesting bridges extant ... where the whole has rhythm and dignity and combines in the happiest consistency, utility, beauty, and recreation." The poets of Isfahan wrote beautiful poems on the Khajoo bridge and in these poems they praised its beauties. Among these poems is the long poem by Saeb Tabrizi which describes one of the days of celebration and illumination next to this bridge. According to historians and scholars who have studied the Safavid dynasty, Shah Abbas II's goal in building the Khajoo Bridge was to connect the two districts of Khajoo and the Hassanabad Gate with Takht-e Folad and Shiraz Road. Tourists who came to Isfahan at different times praised the beauty of the Khajoo Bridge and considered it one of the eternal masterpieces of Iranian and Islamic architecture.
Khajo historical bridge structure:
The bridge has 23 arches and is 133 meters long and 12 meters wide. Iranian architects have raised concerns about damage inflicted on the bridge during recent "improvement program" renovations, citing, among other problems, the destruction of the original stepped base of the bridge, the alterations made to the riverbed, and the removal of the Safavid inscribed stone blocks from the bridge.
