The Shushtar Bridge:

Shushtar is an ancient fortress city in the Khuzestan province in Iran.

It is approximately ninety kilometers away from Ahvaz, the center of the province. It had an estimated population of 90,000 in 2005.
The name itself, Shushtar, is connected with the name of another ancient city, Susa (or Shush, in Persian pronunciation), and means 'greater (or better) than Shush.'

Like other Persian ethnic groups, the people of Shushtar, called Shushtaris, maintain a unique cultural heritage stretching back to ancient times, and a Persian dialect distinct to their group.
