Turning back towards the city, the first bridge encountered is the Khaju Bridge, named after a neighbouring distric. It is a magnificent structure with two tiers of archers. The lower arches are fitted with locks. When they are lowered, a small lake forms opposite the Royal Palaces built under Shah Abbass !! (1650) on the right bank. In the Middle of the bridge, the King got a pavilion built which is still intact. On each of the bridge's piers, he got stone seats built so that people could sit there to watch the Zayandeh-Rood River.
