The Purana Pul is a historic bridge built in 1578 AD over the river Musi in Hyderabad, India. It is the first bridge ever constructed in Hyderabad and among the oldest in South India. The bridge was built during the reign of the Qutb Shahi dynasty to facilitate quick travel between Golconda and Hyderabad.

The bridge has 22 arches and is 600 feet long, 35 feet broad, and 54 feet above the river bed. It was once considered one of the oldest landmarks of Hyderabad. However, the authorities have neglected the bridge, and it is now defunct, used as a flea market.

The bridge was built by Ibrahim Qutb Shah in 1578 and was later repaired by Sikander Jah in 1820. It was repaired again after the disastrous floods of 1908 when the ancient structure was damaged.

According to historians, the bridge was built by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah to allow him to cross the river Musi safely to meet his lover, Baghmati, who lived on the other side of the river.

The Purana Pul (Old Bridge) is a significant historical structure that represents the architectural and cultural heritage of Hyderabad.
