About Isfahan:
Architecture and wall paintings play the
remarkable role in old Iran. Like
architectures of many other eastern
countries, curve-shaped structures and
artistic tiling are available in many cities
of Iran. But, what makes Isfahan distinctive
from other cities is its plentitude of
historical monuments. The curve is seen
everywhere, from the bridges to the domes of
the mosques. The curve-shaped ceiling of the
mosque of Sheikh
Lotf Allah, for example, is shockingly
symmetrical so that attracts
Mathematicians' attentions. Also the
bridges that highly suggest the Graphs
designed by Sheikh Bahaei are made up of
several curve-like openings. Khajoo bridge
and
Sio-Se-Pole are the most well-known
bridges in Isfahan. Each of them has
exclusive attractions. The opening parts of
Khajoo bridge have designed so that people
in specific direction can see candle shapes
between these opening parts known as
Khajoo candles. Sio-Se-pole has been
located in the widest part of the river; the
reflection of the bridge to the river makes
an amazing view. Although Isfahan is
suffering from many attacks in the past, she
is still charming and alive; Isfahan
handicrafts are of the most beautiful ones
among handicrafts; among them
Ghalamzani and
Minakary are two of the most beautiful
ones.
