Si-o-Se-Pol, Isfahan [1]

A very beautiful bridge over Zayandeh-Rood (Zayandeh-River) in Isfahan from 16th century. "Si-o-se" verbally means "thirty three" and "pol" is the Persian word for "bridge". So the meaning of the name is: a bridge with thirty three bays.
Unfortunately I couldn't take picture sooner in the day when light and shadows are very exciting.
