Shahi Pul
The Shahi Pul, also known as the Akbari Bridge, is a historic structure in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh. Built in 1564 during the reign of Mughal Emperor Akbar, it was constructed by Munim Khan, a governor of Jaunpur. This 16th-century bridge spans the Gomti River and is celebrated for its architectural brilliance, featuring a unique design with pillboxes and a central platform adorned with a sculpture of a lion subduing an elephant.
The bridge originally served both as a passageway and a marketplace, with shops set up in its pillboxes.
Despite being partially damaged during the 1934 Nepal-Bihar earthquake, the bridge was restored and remains a significant landmark. It is a testament to Mughal engineering and continues to attract visitors for its historical and cultural importance.
