Aji Chay Bridge

This bridge connected Tabriz to the northwestern parts of Iranian Azerbaijan and was a major element on the route connecting the rest of the country to Turkey and Russia.

As such, it was a major element in connecting the eastern and western parts of the Silk Road.

The bridge has been restored and damaged numerous times during the course of history either by natural disasters or during the wars happened in the region.

The latest major reconstruction of the bridge was performed in the 19th century during Abbas Mirza's governorship by architect Hadj-Seyed-Hossein Tajer.

Due to several times of restoration and reconstruction the bridge doesn't have a uniform architecture.
