Pul-i Mushir

Dalaki, Iran

Pul-i Mushir is a six-span bridge located on the Dalaki river, near Dalaki village in the Borazjan region of Bushihr Province, Iran. It was built or renovated in 1860/1277 AH during the reign of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar by Mirza Abu al-Hasan Khan Mushir al-Mulk (probably the governor of Fars at that time), and hence has the title "Mushir" in its name. Its architect is believed to be Haj Muhammad Rahimi. The materials used include baked brick and plaster in the body and arches, and stone in the pillars. The bridge facilitated trade between Bushihr and Fars provinces.
