Naqsh-e Jahan square, Esfahan, Iran

Naqsh-e Jahan is the central square of Esfahan, it literally means half of the world and it is even after 400 years presumably the 2nd largest square in the world. 
Constructed between 1598 and 1629, it is now an important historical site, and one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. It is 160 metres (520 ft) wide by 560 metres (1,840 ft) long (an area of 89,600 square metres (964,000 sq ft)).
A place of erernal calm and ellegance indeed.
Spent the last three weeks exploring Iran. Was overwhelmed by the beauty of Safavid architecture. #Iran #Esfahan #architecture

Vank Church, Julfa district, Esfahan

Vank Church or Kelisa-ye Vank is the most memorable church in the Armenian district of Julfa. Armenians were brought in 1606 by Shah Abbas from Azerbaydzan town of Julfa to a New Julfa on the south bank of Zayandeh Rud river. Armenians were Christian and smart entrepreneurs and craftsmen, they brought the first printing machine press to Persia. Vank Church construction started during Shah Abbas's reign and was completed around 1655-64. The domed sanctuary is pure Persian architecture and the simple brick exterior is contrasting with the interior with paintings usual for Christian churches. Here the paintings have biblical content, with pictures of Haven, Earth and Hell. It reminded me of the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, maybe not so scary ;) The Armenian community is still living in Julfa and Armenian Christians are part of the religion plurality held in today's Iran.

이스파한의 인기 도시

A traditional bath house - hamam. It reveals the different stages of bathing here, from dressing rooms to social gathering rooms. Needless to say, these hamams were used by men only. Ladies had their own, separate bath houses
