Isfahan is a city of historic bridges to commemorate the "Zayandeh Rood" River in the middle of the desert. One of these historic bridges is the Jubi / Choobi/ Chubi Bridge or Wooden Bridge. Some believe that the name of the Chubi bridge (meaning made of wood) is wrong, but some historians have pointed out that this Safavid bridge actually had a wooden structure at first, and only its foundation was made of stone and lime. At that time, however, today this bridge is made of bricks like Khajoo bridge and "Si O Se Pol" bridge.
The root of another name, Jubi Bridge (meaning the bridge where there is a creek to transfer water), which seems to be a more accurate name, although less commonly used, is that in the middle of the bridge there is a stone carved out of stone. Where water has flowed to irrigate the gardens north of the bridge.
However, in my opinion, this narration is not logical because, despite the Zayandehrud River, there was no reason for water to flow from the bridge.
In any case, in my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful bridges in Isfahan, which is located between Khajoo Bridge and "Si O Se Pol" bridge, and tourists usually miss it.
During the Safavid period, this narrow bridge was only used for the Shah's family, and ordinary people were not allowed to cross it, and there were several palaces on either side of it. There are two promenades on the lower floor of the bridge, which has a residential use and is now a cafeteria.

Hakim Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Isfahan, Iran. Completed in the mid-17th century, in the Safavid era, it is named after Moḥammad-Dāvud Khan Ḥakim (a court physician) who funded the construction.
The mosque was constructed between 1656 and 1663 and retained the "standard four ayvan plan and a two-storey arcade" At the same time, however, it also bore a more simple structural pattern and brick and tile surface compared to the ones that had been erected under Abbas I (r. 1588-1629).
