Historical bridges of Iran, as well as other artifacts of traditional societies, in addition to their function, are the place for the crystallization and transfer of implicit concepts in the worldview of its creators. Khaju Bridge had the role of a dam and was a strain among the most beautiful bridges of the Safavid era. For this reason, along with the Isfahan bridges, Khaju Bridge’s structure is different from other bridges. This study attempts to answer the question of how was the construction of the Khaju Bridge at different times. The impetus behind the paper is to reconstruct the original structure of the Khaju Bridge based on data gathered from descriptive and visual documents in different periods and provide a general understanding of the Khaju Bridge from the beginning of its existence to the present time. This research analyzes the images and documents to find out the components of construction. This research was carried out using a comparative study method based on library and field studies. This research is the first attempt which reveal the original image of the Khaju Bridge and its form and shape over time.
