5. wow...that's been around since 1618??

incredible!

[MissHoneychurch]

6. I tell you

Esfahan is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The history of that city goes back even longer. But Shah Abbas sure picked a nice spot for his capital.

7. do you know how many people it can hold? it looks huge

[MissHoneychurch]

8. It is one of the biggest squares in the world

according to Wiki the square is 160 meters wide by 560 meters long (an area of 89,600 m2). I don't know how many people fit in there. A lot I'd say :)

9. probably most of the local populace could fit in and not feel crowded...

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Not quite sure about that

Esfahan has 1.6 million inhabitants. But I am sure there are fitting some thousand people on that place

13. Fantastic pics

:hi: :hug:

That's beautiful architecture and art work. Those look like photos in my old school history books.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. The architecture is breath taking

how they built those mosques without the stuff we have today. And it is still standing.

The kids ought to learn more about the Iran.

learning about other cultures would do us some good. :thumbsup:
