Isfahan
or Esfahan (historically also rendered as Ispahan, Old
Persian Aspadana, Middle Persian Spahan, Persian اصفهان)
located about 340 km south of Tehran is Iran (Persia)'s third
largest city. Isfahan has been designated by UNESCO as a world
heritage city. It contains a wide variety of Islamic
Architectural sites ranging from the 11th century to the 19th.
The city is geographically located at 32°38′N
51°29′E, in the lush Zayandeh-Rud plain, at the foothills
of the Zagros mountain range. The city enjoys a temperate climate
and regular seasons. The temperature ranges between 2 and 28
degrees Celsius. The record high temperature was 42 degrees
Celsius and the record low was −19 degrees Celsius.
Isfahan was once one of the largest cities in
the world. It flourished from 1050 to 1722, particularly in the
16th century under the Safavid dynasty, when it was the capital of
Persia. Even today, the city retains much of its past glory. It is
famous for its Islamic architecture, with many beautiful
boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques, and minarets. This
led to the proverb Esfahān nesf-e jahān ast:
"Esfahan is half of the world". Of all Iranian cities, Isfahan
is perhaps the most popular for tourists.
Today Isfahan, the third largest city in Iran,
produces fine carpets, textiles, steel, and handicrafts.
Isfahan also has nuclear experimental reactors as well as
facilities for producing nuclear fuel (UCF). Isfahan has
one of the largest steel producing facilities in the entire
region, as well as facilities for producing special alloys.
