Isfahan travel

Isfahan is a city of central Iran. Located south of Tehran and considered by the locals to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world (many visitors will find this quite an exaggeration). An ancient town and capital of Persia from 1598 to 1722, it was long noted for its fine carpets and silver filigree. Today it has textile and steel mills. Its architecture, tree-lined boulevards and relaxed pace make it one of the highlights of Iran's cities. The capital of Isfahan Province, and once the country's capital, the Persians call it "Nesf-e-Jahan", meaning "Half The World".
