Isfahan, located 450 km (281 miles) south of Tehran, is renowned for its Persian architecture and rich history. Often referred to as ''Half of the World,'' it features landmarks like Naqsh-e Jahan Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site, surrounded by the Imam Mosque, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, and Ali Qapu Palace. The city's tilework, boulevards, and historical bridges, such as the Si-o-se-pol, highlight its cultural significance. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
