The Coming to Freedom Monument was erected in 1921 to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of the first Persian dynasty. Like the City Theatre, the Carpet Museum and the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the 50-meter-tall building is based on the modern style of the 60s with traditional Iranian features, the most striking of which are the iwan-style arches. In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area, the park around the monument is an oasis.

Witness the rise and fall of the ancient Achaemenid Empire. The massive staircase, the elaborate reliefs, and the imposing gates are a constant reminder of the empire's might, just as impressive as the crumbling and cracking columns brutally announce its end. The most striking of the ruins, and at the same time the most impressive of all the historical monuments in Iran, is the relief carving on the Apadana Staircase on the eastern wall.

The staircase is now protected by a permanent covering, and direct sunlight only hits it in the early morning, so you should go straight here as soon as you open the door. The staircase to the east of the Audience Hall leads to the museum, which is believed by some to be the harem where the king's concubines lived, while others to be the residence of visiting envoys. The visit is to pay attention to the highly polished walls, and in Persepolis almost every wall is done with this labor- and financially intensive process.

The 298-metre-long 33-hole bridge was built between 1599 and 1602 by Allahverdi Khan, one of Abbasid I's favorite generals. It is both a bridge and a dam and is still used to store water today. During the dry season, the riverbed dries up, and there are young people playing musical instruments and singing Iranian songs in the bridge cave on the first floor, which is suitable for a daze.

There is a pedestrian walkway on the second floor, where people come and go, full of life. It's a great place for Isfahan people to relax on weekends and for travelers to get in touch with the lives of the locals.

Alikapu Palace, a must-see attraction on the west side of Imam Square, was built in the early 17th century and is the tallest building in Isfahan and the most valuable cultural heritage in the field of art and architecture during the Safavid period. The viewing balcony inside the palace is the best place to enjoy the entire Imam Square.

Don't ignore the value of the Alikapu Palace in its own right, with the various reliefs and frescoes on the walls being particularly eye-catching. Also, don't forget to walk up the stairs to the concert hall on the top floor, which is not very large, but it is beautiful. The four walls and roof are all decorated with wooden hollows to create vases, teacups, etc., to reduce sound reflection and improve the sound effect.

Nestled quietly at the foot of the Karkas Mountains, the old village is a labyrinth of steep, winding alleys with decaying red-mud brick houses with lattice windows and flimsy wooden balconies. The village is at least 1,500 years old and straddles a beautiful valley to the east. The village is bustling with life, with many residents who moved to Tehran in the winter returning, and tourists haggling over dried apples with brightly dressed toothless old ladies.

Behind the city's high mud-brick walls are a number of traditional mansions built by wealthy merchants, bearing witness to the importance of Kashan as a trading center during the Qajar period. It is distinguished by its intricate reliefs, exquisite stucco decorations and beautiful mirrors and stained glass.

Legend has it that a carpet merchant known as Boroujerdi discussed a marriage with another carpet merchant of equal strength, and Mr. Tabatabaei made it a condition that the house in which his daughter lived should be at least as beautiful as his own.

So 18 years later Khan-e Boroujerdi was built. Around three o'clock in the afternoon, some rooms are bathed in brilliant colors by the combined effect of sunlight and tinted glass.

As you wander through the narrow streets of Kashan, take a closer look at the doors of the residences. Most doors have two knockers, one round and one elongated. The design is to make them make different sounds, so that people in the house can tell if it's a man or a woman knocking on the door, and then decide who is going to open the door. The sound of the round knocker indicates the visit of a woman, and the sound of the slender knocker indicates the visit of a man.

As you walk through the market, you will come across a caravanserai inn with a richly decorated dome that was built in 1868 and is currently being restored by the Kashan Cultural and Heritage Office. It has tea stalls at its entrance where you can sit back and watch the bustling customers pass by. There is a passage inside the market known as the Copper Line, and the most interesting shops are located in this passage.

There are many shisha parlors for smoking and are an important place for Iranians to socialize. The traditional shisha hall is very spacious, with a pool in the middle of the courtyard and many wooden couches against the wall. A plate of dim sum, a pot of black tea, a tube of hookah.

People lazily leaned on the bamboo couch, smoking cigarette pipes, chatting, in a daze, thinking about life in the clouds and fog. So there are media comments in the West, and the ideas of the Persian and Arab intellectuals are in their smoking bottles. The shisha house is also the best place to see the faces of all beings in Iran.
