Khudafarin Bridges

The Khudafarin complex consists of two separate structures spanning the Aras River: one with fifteen arches and another with eleven arches at 800 meters distance.

The bridges date back to the Achaemenid Empire period, with the first written records appearing in the 14th century through geographer Hamdallah Mustawfi's documentation.

These stone structures represent a meeting point between Azerbaijani and Iranian architectural traditions, featuring distinct construction methods using river cobblestone and baked brick materials.

Both bridges currently remain closed at the Azerbaijan-Iran border, with access requiring special permissions from authorities of respective countries.

The fifteen-span bridge extends 200 meters in length and rises 10 meters above water level, while maintaining a consistent width of 4.5 meters throughout its structure.
