Iran (IMNA) - If you’re a lover of history, architecture, and arts, then it is an event that you simply cannot miss. This week-long celebration is a chance to explore and immerse yourself in a city that is truly one of a kind.
As you explore the city, you’ll be struck by the intricate detail and breathtaking beauty of the tilework, frescos, and mosaics that adorn the city’s many buildings. These are not just decorative elements, but are also a testament to the city’s long history and cultural significance.
For avid sightseers and cultural heritage admirers, the event offers an opportunity to talk to many artisans who work here, underpinning its reputation as a living museum of traditional culture.
In addition to the cultural offerings of the festival, you may have a chance to experience local dishes such as Biryani, Kaleh-Joosh, Khoresh-e Mast, which are a blend of different culinary cultures.
“Long Live Isfahan” has been adopted as the motto of the cultural week, which is observed from April 23 to 29, according to Sayyed Mohammad Sajjadzadeh who is the secretary of the annual event.
The weeklong celebrations embrace some 200 programs that touch upon Isfahan’s hospitable people, identity, literature, culture, arts, poetry readings, arts, cuisine, architecture, music, handicrafts, and traditional sports, Sajjadzadeh said earlier this month.
Known as the “half of the world”, Isfahan is a city with legacies that is difficult to match. Experts believe that the profusion of tree-lined boulevards, Persian gardens, and important Islamic buildings give Isfahan a visual appeal that is unmatched by any other Iranian city.
