Red Bridge

The Red Bridge extends 80 meters across the Hrazdan River with four arches constructed from red tuff stone and measures 11 meters in height.

Built in 1679, the bridge connected the Yerevan Fortress to the Ararat Plain until an earthquake destroyed it, leading to reconstruction in 1830.

The structure bears the name of Khoja-plav, a benefactor who funded its reconstruction, reflecting the Armenian tradition of philanthropic architectural support.

Located at coordinates 40.159167 latitude and 44.509167 longitude, the bridge stands within walking distance of central Yerevan's main attractions.

The bridge features two central squiggly arches complemented by two additional arches at the river banks, creating an unusual architectural composition.
