Isfahan - Photoalbum Iran
Isfahan is a real beauty under the Persian cities. History laden the town offers much for cultural interested people travelling through Iran. For me it was the second city after Kashan which I visited on my trip through this country. One thing which makes the city really lovely is the river through it called Zayandeh Rood. It is the cause why Isfahan is famous for its bridges:
Khajoo Bridge from the 17th century
Allah Verdi Khan Bridge from the 16th century
Joobi Bridge
Bozorgmehr Bridge
More bridges located in Isfahan can be found here.
Beside the bridges more stuff can be found at the Zayandeh promenade. For example really breath taking Mullah art. Seems some Iranians have huge barriers in their views of the female role in society. Fact is that if Persian women would do only this, Iran wouldn't work.
The Park of Isfahan. Like always as tourist You have to pay the entrance fee times ten which is still cheap.
A little bit more interesting piece of art. At least the predator looks quit impressive.
The promenade of Isfahan. After I arrived in the town I used this place to relax. Young people strolling around are very interested in strangers. After some meters I was already engaged into a nice conversation. It was the first time I talked with Ehsan. The next day he showed me the university of Isfahan which is really impressive. After I left the city I kept in touch with him over Internet. Unfortunately he is doing now his military service. This is one of the reasons why I would be not really happy if Iran would be engaged somehow into a war.
Isfahan people are often deep religious. In opposite to Tehran, where women are not following the dress code too strictly, Isfahan females are mostly covered with black robes and head scarves (not a Burkha - this is absolutely not typical for Iran). If You start talking with a group, don't address girls. Talk only with the guys. I know! This is not really easy because Iranian girls are often very pretty. But this prevents misunderstandings and maybe problems with the Sharia rules.
