BEAUTIFUL IRAN - ISFAHAN - A TALE OF TWO CITIES

 
ISFAHAN
 
Iran - Isfahan - Chehelsotoon
 
 
Isfahan or Esfahan (historically also rendered as Ispahan, Old Persian Aspadana, Middle Persian Spahan, Persian اصفهان) located about 340 km south of Tehran is Iran (Persia)'s third largest city. Isfahan has been designated by UNESCO as a world heritage city. It contains a wide variety of Islamic Architectural sites ranging from the 11th century to the 19th.
 
Iran - Isfahan - Aliqapoo (the music room)
 
This gorgeous city defies description. It's historical buildings take your breath away. The people are friendly to visitors. They are not the politicians.
 
 
Iran - Isfahan - Imam Mosque
 
 
And in their magnificent mosque - on the far wall - there is a big yellow banner that reads in Farci - "Death to Israel"
