Esfahan 2008 اصفهان

Back


Florence of Orient, Persia's masterpiece, the Intrigue of Iran and the half rhymed famous adage "Esfahan Nesf-e Jahan" (Esfahan is half the world) all are to describe the splendor of a city shining along its life-giving river at the heart of Iran. When you tread into the city it seems as if it has been preparing itself for an impromptu royal visit. It is a city of inspiring architecture, elegant mosques, churches, graceful palaces, beautiful gardens and gorgeous bridges, a city made for the refreshment of humanity as Robert Byron says. Andre Malraux, the famous French author and adventurer says: "Who can claim to have seen the most beautiful city of the world without having seen Esfahan?" Sights to see in Esfahan: * Ali Qapu Palace * Imam's (formerly known as Shah's) mosque * Chehel Sotun (Pavilion of Forty Columns) * Shahrestan Bridge * Vank Cathedral * Bazaar-e Bozorg * Hasht Behesht Palace (The Eight Paradise) * Si-o-se Pol (bridge with 33 arches) * The Bathhouse of Sheikh Bahai (Hamam-e Sheikh Bahai) * Manar Jonban * Khaju Bridge This video only covers Aali Qapu Palace, Shah's mosque, si-o-se pol, and Khaju Bridge.
