The Red Bridge ((アルメニア語:Կարմիր կամուրջ), ''Karmir kamurj''; also known as the Old Bridge of Hrazdan; and also known as Bridge of Khoja Plav, , ''Khoja Plavi kamurj'') is a ruined 17th-century bridge on the Hrazdan River, in Yerevan, Armenia. It was called ‘red’ because as it is built of red tuff. The bridge was also called "Khoja-plav bridge" for Khoja-plav, a wealthy man from Kanaker who financed its reconstructruction.〔 Yervand Shahaziz, The Old Yerevan ''(Հին Երևանը)'', pp. 186-187〕 The total length of the bridge was 80 meters, while the height was 11 meters. It had 4 arches, 2 were in the middle and were squiggly. Other two arches were in the coasts of the Hrazdan River.〔 V. M. Harutyunyan, Caravanserais and bridges of the Medieval Armenia ''(Միջնադարյան Հայաստանի քարավանատներն ու կամուրջները)'', pp. 12〕 Before the 1679 earthquake there was a bridge in the same place, but it was ruined by the earthquake. It provided economic connections between the Yerevan Fortress (in place of the Yerevan Ararat Wine Factory) and the Ararat Plain. ==Gallery== ;Historic pictures of the bridge File:Erivan1796.jpg File:August von Haxthausen.
