Shapuri Bridge, Sassanid-era stone bridge in Khorramabad, Iran

The Shapuri Bridge stretches 312 meters in length and rises 10.75 meters high, featuring a construction of stone and mortar materials throughout its structure.

Built during the Sassanid Empire period, this ancient bridge originally contained 28 arches, though only 6 of these architectural elements remain intact today.

The bridge stands as a registered National Monument of Iran, demonstrating the advanced engineering capabilities of Persian architects during the Sassanid period.

Each of the 27 pile bridges within the structure measures 61 square meters, creating a symmetrical pattern across its remaining sections.
