Isfahan is a major Iranian city and former capital of Persia, known for its famous ‘Rose of Isfahan’ – or so the legend claims, as the city was famous for its gardens and roses.
The city dominates central Iran and is home to a number of important military and nuclear facilities, a large air base, as well as factories for the production of drones and other military equipment.
But apart from that, it is a city that fascinates the visitor with its history, its numerous, impressive mosques, its huge squares and its public buildings.
During its period of great prosperity, in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, it was one of the most important Asian cities with a population then approaching one million and with magnificent palaces and other public buildings, some of which survive to this day.
During its heyday it was also called Nesf-i-Jahan, meaning “half a world” and it is estimated that it had 163 mosques, 48 ​​religious schools, 1,801 shops and 263 public baths.
Today it is the third most populous city, after Tehran and Mashhad, with an important industry of silk, carpets, weaponry, etc. which make it a notable commercial center of Iran.
