Isfahan Archhetetra. Cultural and historical heritage of Iran.

Iran’s Isfahan is in discussion around the world today, as this historic city was targeted in a recent attack by the US. But before the attack, this city was considered not only a name, but the cultural and historical soul of Iran. The city has not only been the former capital of Iran, but is famous all over the world for architecture, workmanship, mosques and bridges.

Isfahan is not only identified as a modern city, but as a living museum, where every building, every corridor, every intersection tells a new story of history. In the era of Safavi dynasty, Isfahan was the capital of Iran and at that time it was called “Nisf-e-Jahan” i.e. “half world”, because it was believed that half the beauty of the world lives in this city.

The experience of walking in this city takes you hundreds of years back. The most famous place here is-Naksh-e-Jahan Square, also known as Imam Square. It is included in the Square UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a wonderful example of Sheikh Lutfullah Mosque, Ali Kapu Mahal and Imam Mosque architecture present here. The mosaic on these buildings enchanted the workmanship, beautiful domes and carvings.

Khwaju Bridge is one of the most beautiful and historical bridges in Isfahan city. This bridge is built on the Jaye River and is located in the eastern part of the 33 bridges of Isfahan. A special building was built in the middle of this bridge, which is called Buglerbegi. This building was built for the temporary residence of Shah Abbas II and his family. This building is still present today and its roofs have a very beautiful painting and decoration.
