Jisr Jindas, Medieval stone bridge in Lod, Israel

The bridge extends 30 meters across the Ayalon River with three arches, featuring a wider central arch supported by two solid piers.

Sultan Baybars commissioned the construction of Jisr Jindas in 1273 CE, building it upon existing Roman foundations near the ancient village of Jindas.

Two identical inscriptions on the east and west faces of the bridge display Arabic text alongside carved lions, representing Sultan Baybars' heraldic symbol.

The bridge currently supports Route 434, known as Abba Hillel Silver Street, connecting the northern and southern sections of Lod.

The stone carvings on the bridge depict lions playing with rats, interpreted as a representation of Baybars' victories over his enemies during the Crusades.
