Abbasi Hotel Isfahan: A Majestic Retreat in the Heart of Persia ?”
The glorious architecture of Iran has always shone like a radiant gem among the world’s architectural masterpieces, holding a distinguished position. Among them, the architecture of the Isfahan School has consistently embodied the grandeur of this illustrious path and has been bestowed with high praise in various eras, echoing the name of Iranian art and culture throughout the corners of the world. During the Safavid period, the city of Isfahan attained such magnificence and splendor that it was referred to as “half the world.”
Among the remaining architectural marvels from the Safavid era, a collection of schools, markets, and caravanserais has endured, shining like a unique gem alongside Chaharbagh Street in Isfahan.
