The Ali Qapu palcae:

The first skyscraper of Iran with a marvelous view over the public Maidan and city to the front and the Shah's pleasure gardens at the back , it is seven floors tall , accessible by a difficult staircase , square in plan , probably a northern type , with the Talar as the second story. All the little rooms have points of interest. A huge reception hall capable of holding two hundred or more courtiers , its interior was covered with delicate polychrome relief. On the sixth floor , niches shaped like bowls or high stemmed flasks are dug into the wall. Their purpose is not only decorative but also acoustical , since here was a music room. Many of the beautiful murals and mosaics which once decorated the many small rooms , corridors and stairways have been destroyed , partly in the Qajar period and as a result of natural causes in recent years A guided tour of the Aliqapu palace is also available From $10.00 per person .

The Imam Mosque- (Isfahan)
Imam Mosque , also called Masjid Shah (Royal Mosque) before the victory of Islamic Revolution , begun in 1612 , and , despite Shah Abbas' impatience , under construction until 1638 , represents the culmination of a thousand years of mosque building in Iran. The half domed arch of outer portal on the square , understood as an aspect of the square rather than of the mosque , is the most thrilling example of human artifice that could be imagined. Its height amounts to 30 in. , the flanking minarets are 40 m. tall with the sanctuary minarets higher still and the sanctuary double shell dome soaring not less than 54 in. A guided tour of the Imam  Mosque is also available From $10.00 per person . Details >>

Vank Cathedral :This is a world-famous architectural monument of the Safavid period in New Jolfa. The belfry faces the main entrance. There is a small museum (originally built in 1930 , and moved to the present Day premises in 1971) where you might be able to find a guidebook on New Jolfa in English , or someone who speaks English , as most educated Armenians do. There are as many as 13 other churches in New Jolfa as well. The next two famous ones are the Holy Mother of God and the Bethlehem. Vank Cathedral's Press was founded in 1636 and was one of the first ones in the Middle East to print the Book of Psalms in 163 8. During its 3 5 0 years of operation the Cathedral's Press has printed about 500 books and thousands of pamphlets , etc A guided tour of the Vank cathedral is also available From $10.00 per person .

Chehel Sotoun Palace:

Built as a reception hall by Shah Abbas 1 (1657 A.D.) behind the Ali Qapu Palace continues the old Talar , or columnar porch. At its simplest it is only a roof-high porch constituting the facade. When attached to a royal building , it provides a huge outdoor reception hall , and is susceptible to lavish embellishments , which have included mirror-plated columns , panels and stalactites , and polychrome mosaic ceilings.
The name means "The Forty Columns" , although there are actually 20. A reflecting pool is provided to see the other 20. A more mundane explanation is that 40 was once used synonymously with many in Persian , and still is in some quarters. Walls of Chehel Sotoun were covered with frescoes and paintings depicting specific historical scenes. A guided tour of the Chehel Sotoon palace is also available From $10.00 per person . Details >>

Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque :

This small mosque on the eastern side of the square , is datable to the first years of the seventeenth century , and was built by Shah Abbas in honor of the great Lebanese Sheikh , who was a sort of Islamic Billy Graham of his time. The enormous dome is supported by walls 170 cm. thick , and its solidity is transmuted into lightness one would even say fragility by two features of the utmost tact and daring: a huge aperture and several high windows to trap the maximum amount of natural light , and steadily-decreasing concentric ellipses of midnight blue with delicate white arabesques vanishing to all or nothing in the center of the dome. The mihrab is decorated with mosaic tiles and stalactites , all of the highest artistic value , and the name of the architect , Mohammad Reza , is given in two tablets installed inside it. This is pure architecture , flawless and serene , and still as perfect as on the Day of dedication more than three hundred years ago. No one in a receptive or contemplative mood can enter without a shock of the sense of being received into a Presence , for all its elegance , and finish it has no weakness the scale is too ample , the patterns too strong.A guided tour of the Sheikh lotf allah mosque is also available From $10.00 per person .
