About
Gheshlagh Bridge (Persian: پل قشلاق) is located east of Sanandaj, the center of Iran’s Kurdistan province.
This bridge on Gheshlagh river is a remnant of the Safavid and Zand eras. It was renovated later, especially in the Qajar era. The bridge was constructed by the order of Shah Safi, on the route from Sanandaj to Hamedan. Two centuries later, when the bridge was almost ruined, it was renovated again. A stone inscription on the facing mountain reads the name of Gholam Hossein Khan who repaired the bridge.
