Khodaafarin Bridges (Persian: پل خداآفرین, Azerbaijani: Xudafərin körpüsü, Armenian: Խուդաֆերինի կամուրջ) are two arch bridges across the Aras River which connect Iran with the Jabrayil district of Azerbaijan, occupied by the Armenian army and de facto administered by Nagorno Karabakh Republic. 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]
