TRANSCRIPT
Khajou Bridge. Built about 1650 by Shah Abbas I as a dam. This very
attractive bridge is 132m (435') long (shorter than Siose Pol) in Esfahan
city.
This is probably the most famous of Isfahan's bridges. It is made up of a series of 33 arches and was commissioned in 1602 by Shah Abbas I from one of his Generals. The name - Si-o-Seh Pol is derived from the Farsi for 33 (Si-o-Seh). The bridge is built on a series of pontoons of great width and there is a famous tea-house amongst them which is accessible from the southern bank.
