creeks bring water to irrigate trees and give life to all the neighborhoods. Palaces are all inside gardens
and decorated with some of the most elegant miniatures painted by masters of this art in Iran.
Mosques are the most breath-taking examples of building such structures in Iran both in terms of art
and architecture. Hundreds of workshops, if not thousands, are producing more than half of all the
handicrafts produced all around the country.

the ancient times of
Iran. They are
proud of their
cultural heritage
and keep them as
much as they can.
