Jubi Bridge, Safavid footbridge in Isfahan, Iran
Jubi Bridge is a footbridge in Isfahan stretching roughly 147 meters and built from stone, brick, and traditional mortar. The structure has 21 arches and is about 4 meters wide, making it passable only on foot.
The structure dates to the 17th century and is part of the infrastructure built during the Safavid period in Isfahan. It belongs to the network of bridges that developed during this era to connect the growing city.
The bridge shows how water and movement were brought together during the Safavid period, reflecting the practical solutions that people needed in daily life. When crossing it, you can still see the craftsmanship details of this building method today.
Access to the bridge is located between other well-known structures in the city and is easy to reach on foot. It is helpful to know that the structure sits low over the water and can be slippery during wet conditions.
The structure serves a dual purpose that is less commonly known to visitors - it functioned as both a walkway and a water distribution system for the city. This double use made it an efficient solution for urban needs.
