What People Are Saying About Isfahan

Write a Review

Naqsh-e Jahan Square

avatar
Ribb
It is known as the second largest city square in the world. Except for two mosques and a building, it is surrounded by bazaars. Usually, this is a good place for people to rest, exercise and relax. There are also horse-drawn carriages in the square, which are classical European style carriages.

Si O Se Pol Bridge

The Thirty-Three Arch Bridge was built between 1599 and 1602. It is one of the 11 bridges in Isfahan, Iran. It is highly regarded as one of the most famous representatives of Safavid bridge design. It is a double-layer structure with 33 arches, hence the name Thirty-Three Arch Bridge. It is a very beautiful stone arch bridge and a multifunctional building, which is both a bridge and a dam.

Chehel Sotoon Palace

The garden of the Forty Columns Palace in Isfahan is an outstanding example of a Persian garden and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The palace was rebuilt after a fire in 1706. Many murals, miniatures, and pottery reflect the luxury of the palace at that time.

Jame' Mosque of Isfahan

杉尼
The mosque is the Islamic worship site, is the main type of Islamic architecture, it is the must-built building in the neighbourhood of Islam. Mosque buildings must comply with the prevailing rules of Islam, such as the orientation of the temple must be east, so that worshippers can worship in the direction of the holy place of Mecca, which is facing the west; there is no idol in the temple, only the holy shrine behind the temple as the object of worship; Mosque building decoration patterns are not allowed to use animal patterns, only plant or text graphics.

Imam Khomeini Mosque

此心无障
A large and empty mosque has basically no function of worship and prayer. The main dome has been repaired, and scaffolding has been damaged and beautiful. The echo of the foot in the center of the main hall is very shocking.

Grand Bazaar Of Isfahan

avatar
东张西望望东西
I like to visit the Grand Bazaar. If you want to buy local handicrafts such as carpets, you can come here. Of course, you can also come here if you want to buy some food. The area is very large and you can experience the life of the locals.

Khaju Bridge

天边的海999
From the traffic map, there is a No. 1 car or No. 28 car to Hazhu Bridge. It takes about 30 minutes to walk from the 33-hole bridge. Although the reputation of the 33-hole bridge is not as good as the 33-hole bridge, the bridge body is also short (110m) Khaju Bridge built in about 1650, and the bridge body is also a dike. The Hazhu Bridge is a masterpiece of architecture from the period of Abbas II of the Safawi dynasty.

Vank Cathedral - Armenian Apostolic Church

avatar
小胖鱼large
Everyone knows that Iran is an Islamic country, but there is a church in Isfahan, which was built by Armenians who fled to Iran during the Armenian genocide. It looks like a mosque, but there are exquisite murals inside. The ticket is about 40 RMB. Here, it seems like entering a barrier, allowing you to travel back to the Middle Ages.

Aali Qapu Palace

avatar
天边的海999
The main attraction is the music hall on the top floor. The hollow walls are where Abbas the Great, the revived monarch of the Safavid dynasty, summoned and received foreign envoys. It was built in the late 16th century and has six floors. The lower floors, including the reviewing stand supported by 18 pillars, have been severely damaged and have been covered with scaffolding for many years. The stairs leading to the top floor are covered with painted tiles, which are still brightly colored. The top music hall is the best preserved and most beautiful place. The walls and roof of the music hall are all decorated with wooden hollows to reduce sound reflection and improve the sound effect.

Hasht Behesht Palace

Ribb
A palace built hundreds of years ago, next to Imam Square, six stories high, it was the tallest building in Esfahan. There is a swimming pool under the high roof on the top floor. If you hadn't heard about it, you would have thought it was a water garden, with a copper-clad bottom and sides. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city of Isfahan... The scenery is so beautiful...
