Traditional elements of Eastern architecture, such as wind towers and iwans adorned with bright, hand-painted ceramics in traditional patterns, unexpectedly intertwine with European scenes and attributes of European lifestyle. This fusion reflects the fashion for European things within the ruling circles of the Qajar dynasty.
Next, you will visit the Tabiat Bridge, the Park of Fire and Water.

Yazd

The city is known for the largest network of qanats in the world – an ancient system of underground shafts and wells that supply water from the mountains via pipes laid many kilometres underground. Many houses are equipped with wind towers (badgirs) for ventilation, and yakhchals serve as primitive refrigerators. The heart of the city's life is the bazaars of the Old City, where mosques, baths, caravanserais, and schools coexist with trade shops. Among them stands out the Grand Friday Mosque (Jameh) with a library housing ancient manuscripts, and the Amir Chakhmaq Mosque.

In the very heart of Iran, in the Fars province, lies the city of blooming gardens, poetry, and wine – Shiraz. Its beauty was celebrated in the verses of the great Persian poets, Hafez and Saadi.

As the locals say, it's hard not to be a poet in Shiraz.

This respect is reflected in Achaemenid architecture, which became a generalized representation of the various cultures within the empire.

Departure for Tehran. Sightseeing tour of Kashan.

Since ancient times, the city of Kashan has been located at the crossroads of trade routes. Caravans, tired from long journeys, would first head to the Persian baths.

The building of the hammam is decorated with mosaics and frescoes worthy of a royal palace. This is where you will begin your exploration of the city.
