Still adorned in trappings of ancient Persian empires, this Iranian city carefully protects its ancient largesse while reviving vital commerce industries, buffeted by enduring mastery in various disciplines of craftsmanship, from weaving to ceramics. A panoply of regalia furnishes the interiors of its landmarks’ hypostyle rooms and corridors, from Masjid-e Jameh to the Shah Mosque, while Naqsh-e Jahan Square’s vast courtyards make for fascinating journeys into Persian art and history.
