Iran - Glimpses of Isfahan

Isfahan (اصفهان in Farsi) is probably the number one tourist destination in Iran, and for good reason. The city has an incredible number of attractions to explore, and the people are generally friendly and welcoming.

The majestic 'Naqsh-e Jahan Square' (also called Imam Square) is the centre piece of the city, and becomes a popular place to visit in the late afternoon, by both locals and visitors. The square is the second largest in the world (only Tiananmen in Beijing is bigger), and it is surrounded by beautiful mosques and buildings.

Around the square lies the bazaar, another fascinating place to wander through. Getting lost is part of the fun, and you'll encounter plenty of curious Iranians for a chat or a fresh cup of tea.

Other places that can be seen in this video include the bridges to the South of the city centre (the river is mostly dry these days, unfortunately), the Chehel Sotun palace, and production of 'gaz' (a refined version of nougat).

These shots were made on a trip through Iran in October and November 2013, and only show a small part of the city. There is, indeed, a lot more to explore!

Chehel Sotun Isfahan

Chehel Sotoun (also Chihil Sutun or Chehel Sotoon, Persian: چهل ستون, literally: Forty Columns) is a pavilion in the middle of a park at the far end of a long pool, in Isfahan, Iran, built by Shah Abbas II to be used for his entertainment and receptions. In this palace, Shah Abbas II and his successors would receive dignitaries and ambassadors, either on the terrace or in one of the stately reception halls.
The name, meaning Forty Columns in Persian, was inspired by the twenty slender wooden columns supporting the entrance pavilion, which, when reflected in the waters of the fountain, are said to appear to be forty.[1]
As with Ali Qapu, the palace contains many frescoes and paintings on ceramic. Many of the ceramic panels have been dispersed and are now in the possession of major museums in the west. They depict specific historical scenes such as a reception for an Uzbek King in 1646, when the palace had just been completed; a banquet in honor of the Emir of Bukhara in 1611; the battle of Chalderan against the Ottoman Sultan Selim I in 1514 in which the Persians fought without firearms; the welcome extended to the Mughal Emperor, Humayun who took refuge in Iran in 1544; the battle of Taher-Abad in 1510 where the Safavid Shah Ismail I vanquished and killed the Uzbek King. A more recent painting depicts Nader Shah's victory against the Indian Army at Karnal in 1739. There are also less historical, but even more aesthetic compositions in the traditional miniature style which celebrate the joy of life and love.
