The Pol-e Shah Restan (Persian پل شهرستان ) is one of eleven bridges in the Iranian city of Isfahan on the Zayandeh River. The bridge is the oldest and the most downstream of the three known bridges adjacent Si -o- se Pol and Pol-e Khaju the city.

It is believed that the stone pillar and the bugähnlichen breakwater already from the early Sassanid era come to settle so early as the 3rd century AD. The overlying arches made ​​of brick was built in the period of Islamic Seljuk princes in the 11th century. The arch of the bridge are combined with other arcuate passages in Whistler area to ensure a maximum flow in times of high water flow. This is possibly due to a bond in the older Roman bridge. The Pol-e Shah Restan applies as well as the other mentioned bridges as an architectural showpiece of the time. Pol-e Shah Restan is located about 3 km east of the Pol-e Khaju and thus already beyond the city limits of Isfahan. The dilapidated building at the north end of the bridge could have been a customs house.

The bridge connects the village of Shah Restan ( named after the bridge) with the southern agricultural fields. The bridge is used little more today.

On this bridge the Abbasid Caliph Al-Rashid was murdered in 1138 by a Shia. Maybe is a shrine called Shazdeh Hosein in the village of damage Restan the grave Ar - Rashid.
