Visit of Esfahan - Isfahan - اصفهان - Ispahan (Iran / ایران )

Isfahan ou Esfahan (en persan : اصفهان, Esfahān) est une ville d'Iran, capitale de la province d'Isfahan. Le nom de la ville est aussi rendu sous la graphie Ispahan. Elle est située à 340 kilomètres au sud de la capitale, Téhéran. Troisième ville d'Iran (après Téhéran et Mashhad) avec 1 600 554 habitants en 2006, la zone métropolitaine d'Isfahan est un des centres majeurs de l'industrie et de l'enseignement en Iran.
Isfahan a été capitale de l'empire perse sous la dynastie des Safavides entre le XVIe siècle et le XVIIIe siècle. L'architecture de la ville, qui est noyée de verdure bien irriguée, offre un contraste avec les étendues désertiques qui l'entourent. Cet aspect particulier, résultat des efforts de Shah Abbas, ainsi que les nombreux monuments islamiques construits entre le XIe et le XIXe siècle, sont aujourd'hui menacés par la modernité. Le classement de la place Naghsh-e Jahan au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité depuis 1988 contribue à faire prendre en considération les spécificités de l'urbanisme d'Isfahan.

Esfahān or Isfahan (historically also rendered as Ispahan, Old Persian: Aspadana, Middle Persian: Spahān, Persian: اصفهان Esfahān), located about 340 km south of Tehran at 32°39′5″N, 51°40′45″ECoordinates: 32°39′5″N, 51°40′45″E, is the capital of Esfahan Province and Iran's third largest city (after Tehran and Mashhad). Esfahan has a population of 1,600,554 (2007 calculation).[1]
Esfahan is located on the main north-south and east-west routes crossing Iran, and 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 became the capital of Persia for the second time in its history. 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 Persian proverb Esfahān nesf-e jahān ast: "Esfahan is half of the world".[2]
The Naghsh-e Jahan Square in Esfahan is one of the biggest city squares in the world and an outstanding example of Iranian and Islamic architecture. It has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The city also has a wide variety of historic monuments ranging from the Sassanid to the Safavid dynasties. Remaining Islamic architectural sites were built from 11th to the 19th century while older pre-Islamic monuments date back to 1000 B.C.

stupid question, but, where is everyone? the historical buildings seem to be mostly empty of people--in cultural sites that I've visited, it seems there's always tons of people snapping photos.

When I visited Ispahan the guide said to us, only 2 groups of tourists were present in the town, so it was easy to avoid poeple for my video.

why do u say isPahan?!

[valpard]

Ispahan is the French name of Esfahān / Isfahan .

I'm french... Sometimes in France names of foreign cities are modified and adapted (London = Londres, Aachen = Aix-la-Chapelle... )

Viva Esfahan.

This is the best vid I've seen Isfahan to date. Seems less crowded than when I lived there 35 years ago. Those were strange memories. It seemed like the place could go to pieces any minute and later on it did. Conspiracies & rumors became a reality when Khomeini came to power. The hammer came down and anything that once seemed human about Iran went straight to hell. I hope Iran gets a change for the better & soon. Good luck Isfahan, khodahafez

@mirageBites

is it true that the oldest village was called YAHOUDIA, and where is situated

[winskovable]

@valpard

est ce que possible de me dire ou ce trouve le village qu'on nomme YAHOUDIA parcequ'on dit que c'est le plus ancien village dans cette ville charmante

[mirageBites]

@valpard: Well, the word "Ispahan" is not so far from the original persian word. The older name of the city used to be "Sipahan" -related to "Sipah" meaning army- and alternatively "Ispahan" (This alternation of Persian words is quite common. For example, "Shotor" (camel) = "Oshtor", or "Sitara" (star)= "Istara".) Later on, after Arabization of the word "Ispahan" became "Isfahan". So, the word you used is not a french construction, but only the original Persian word.

@nagamora Do not be silly. If newspapers and television say things like that, why not use Wiki or something similar, to slightly enriched knowledge. "The Antichrist's home" is far from Iran, is much closer to you and people who think similarly to you. All the western attack Islam, as Islam is the evil of the world, but the bible says to first look at ourselves, and only then to look at others.

Greetings from Serbia, I hope to be in a position to visit Iran and Esfahan,Nesfe Jahan
