Khodaafarin Bridges (Persian: پل خداآفرین, Azerbaijani: Xudafərin körpüsü, Armenian: Խուդաֆերինի կամուրջ) are two arch bridges across the Aras River which connect the territory of the de jure Azerbaijan de facto Nagorno Karabakh Republic controlled by Armenian army with Iran. The first one with 11 arches was built in the 11–12th centuries and the second with 15 arches in the 13th century.[1][2]
