The city of Salmas is one of the cities of the West Azarbaijan Province, which runs from the one side to the northern coasts of Lake Urmia, and on the other hand to the present Turkish capital, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire in ancient centuries, a city with a long history of living. Works The history of the centuries BC to the Sassanid era, then the Islamic era and even the contemporary century, is a proof of this claim. So that there are different works in this city and its surroundings; from the civilization of the Median and Achaemenid dynasty, discovered in the ancient hills of Salmas and around it, to the famous "Khan Takhty" stones in the Sassanid period and several historical churches in the following centuries It is made possible by the great fan.

The historic church of

this historic church founded at the end of the Safavid period is called the "Holy Georg" and is known as the village in the village of Heftwan. The church was once damaged and rebuilt in the solar year 1301 and again after the earthquake of 1309 solar. Seftewan Church has been registered as one of the national works of travel to Iran.

Sheikh Bath: This bathroom is located on Imam Street, inside the city of Salmas between Revolution Square and Modarres Square, at Soura Street (behind the Post Bank Branch). After the earthquake of 1309, the construction of this bathroom began in the newly built parts of the city.

The construction of this bathroom lasted three years, and although relatively new materials were used, its architectural style is traditional and in parts inspired by the Georgian architecture. Bricks were used to make walls and bricks were adjacent to the stone wall, aiming to prevent penetration of the NIM. The main dome of the bathtub is based on eight stone columns and a turning. This bath is now Salmas Museum of Anthropology and you have to pay a ticket to visit it.

Salmas during the Parthians period was one of the disputed regions between Iran and the Romans, and eventually the scene of the Iranian army's victory over the Romans was engraved on this great stone plate. Two pedestrians are two Armenian gentlemen who are presenting gifts to Ardeshir I and his crown prince (after the complete Sassanian domination of Azerbaijan).

Roads to Isfahan

If you go to Isfahan from the south

Go to the first gate of Shiraz (Azadi Square) to get to the gate of the state (Imam Hossein Square).

If you go from Isfahan to the north, Isfahan 

road to Tehran is suitable for four quadrants and its quality. The distance from Tehran to Isfahan is about 400 kilometers, which takes 7-6 hours by bus and depends on your driving time between 5 and 4 hours by a private car. .

Your mobile phone is always available and there is no problem communicating.

But the story of your arrival starts from a distance that reaches a distance with a board that has two sides; one Isfahan writing is 28 kilometers and the other Isfahan is 22 kilometers.

First, you get a little bit confused, and then the wisdom tells you to choose a shorter route. 

Both are four-way routes and end in Isfahan, but each one guides you to a city entrance. 

It is suggested to choose a 28-kilometer route to Dedil:

1- If you enter this path, you will be guided to the heart of the city without any change (you will not be lost in the streets of the city famously)

2. If you drive at night, this path to Isfahan itself has a lantern and it will be easier to drive, and also the quality of the road is much better than the 22 km route. 

Now if you have entered Esfahan this way, now you have to go on a highway called Barzegarah Kaveh (Kaveh) Be 

sure to bring yourself to the gates of the state (Imam Hossein Square). ( direct)

The names of the streets

As a tourist, the first problem that you will encounter in Isfahan is the names of fields and streets that are completely different from what you wrote in your map with what the people of the city know. You need to know the people in order to find places in the city:

Imam Hossein Square = Government Gateway

Freedom Square = Shiraz Gate

Islamic Republic Square = Tehran Gateway

Field of uprising = Old field - Green field

Kadesh Square = Toukhi Square

Ayatollah Madani Avenue = Amadgah Street

Sepah Street = Sepah Avenue

Chahar Bagh Sadr Street = Chahar Bagh Khajah Street

There are a lot of such squares and streets in Isfahan, but you are dealing more with these streets as tourists.

Accommodation

Now you have to enter the city and you have to find a place to spend the night and rest

If you have already booked a hotel, take a hotel, though you must wait until 2:00 pm when the room is empty. 

If the hotel is dying, the best hotels in Isfahan are: 

Hotel Abbas 

Hotel Kosar 

Hotel Sky 

and ....

If you are a tent, you know that in the park, around thirty-three bridges and ... .. Do not tidings. The 

municipality has allocated places for tenting, the best place, the garden of Ghadir (22 Bahman, first Allameh Amini) and the park of Golestan (street Imam Khomeini, not reaching the highway)

If you have any kind of affiliation with the education organization, you must have your ID card and provide the school headquarters at the eight paradise boulevard at the 

earliest possible time, and you can stay there. 

Just do not forget to have enough blankets, underwear and basic amenities, and enjoy your journey endlessly.

There are also four teacher houses in Isfahan, where you can go to food. The quality of food is appropriate (ask the address from the headquarters of the cultural leaders)

historical monuments

The historic complex of Persia Square includes the Imam Mosque (Abbasi Mosque or New Mosque), the Upper Chapla Mansion, Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque and the Market

Palace of Chehel Soton Museum on Sepah Street

The mosque and school of Chaharbagh (Mother of Shah Mosque) in four Abbasid gardens

Old Mosque (Old Mosque) located on the green square (the old field or Qayyam field)

If you enter the market in Qeserieh in the southern part of the role of the field of the world, the end of the market reaches the old square where the mosque is located.

Khaju Bridge is very beautiful.

The bridge of the Al-Wardarkhan (thirty-three bridge) with its long length indicates the power of the Safavid bridge during that period. 

Monarch Jankan (street of the fire)

The bridge over the Sassanid period has been rebuilt at different times

Jolfa collection, which is the flower of its flower basket, located in Jolfa neighborhood

The birds garden is very attractive for kids

Flower Garden (located in Shumehr Square)

Well, now that we are a little familiar with some places, we'd better discuss the details:

Probably the first place you want to see is Imam Square (the role of the universe). 

There are two ways to reach the field. One of the streets of Hafez (East Square) and Sepah (West Square) streets, which during the Eid period, due to heavy traffic, the passenger closes two entrances, while if you can enter the field with a private car, a place for the park Is not.

So, it's best to park your car at the outside of the field or in one of the parking lots around the square (including the parking garage, the park, the park, the park, the park, the park, the park, the park, the paradise, and the park ...). 

With these interpretations you will probably enter the field from the eastern part (from one of the streets of Sepah, behind Dabbakhsh or Sa'di) and after a little rolling and you want to enter one of the buildings.

If it is before noon and between 9:00 and 13:00, I suggest the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque (I am saying it) 

. First, you have to make a ticket, but for students with a student card offer it is half the price.

Tip: To make a ticket

when you take the ticket and want to enter any historic building, just show the ticket, because you can visit the rest of the monuments with the same ticket.

But you arrive at the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque that is nothing but a corridor and a square-shaped space, but its tiles are so beautiful that they will enchant you for hours.

But what you need to pay attention to is:

When you enter the courtyard of the mosque, look at the end of the dome, which is the vertex and center of all the dome divisions, should see the tone of a peacock, and the reflection of the sun on the tiles brings golden feathers of peacock (this reflection is usually greater in the hours before noon). One of the architectural masterpieces is that it's unlikely that today, with all these devices, it's easy to build like that. 

After the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, you will visit Imam Mosque (Abbasi Mosque), which is a very beautiful and unique mosque. 

The wonders of this mosque are more technical, and I only point 45 ° to the square, which you will not feel at all. The height of the mosque's dome is 46 meters (approximately equivalent to a 15-story modern building) during its time. Has been like.

After the Imam's mosque, it's time to go to the great Qapu mansion, the Supreme Qapu was the Safavid Palace, and all administrative leaks with the Shah were done in this place (such as the Presidential Palace or the White 

House ). The palace is 6 floors and each floor has special features. One of the most extraordinary things is at the entrance to the palace, where you can walk through it.

Take care of these steps carefully. The entrance to the palace, where you come from it, is a rectangular space, with some special decoration, but the secrets lie in the corners of this rectangle.

By multiplying with one of the relatives in the diameter of this rectangle, stand both walls and slowly call the other person. Surprisingly, you will hear the sound of someone else from the wall (remember, when you are there, the input is full of population And it's almost impossible to transfer the sound while you're back ( 

well, who has invented the phone now!)?

Well, now you can see the palace floor to floor. On the fifth floor, you will see a hall known as the Music Hall, which was performed by the guests of Shah Musoulei, and all the walls of the board were tangled (the architect) with this tight technique It's a totally acoustic space that is still a fascination of the engineering wonders of that era.

Of this kind of engineering techniques in the works of the Safavid era is high and very much in them in the books, the masterpieces I have mentioned are not written in any book or will not give you any tourist guide.

Well, you saw the three corners of the field, but in the other corner (north part) is the head in Qaiserieh, which is the entrance to the market. You can find the chicken poop to the human face of the market (from the role of the role of the world to the old square and the old mosque continues).

It's time to buy!

Now you want to take a souvenir from the city of art other than gooseberry and candy which are famous food. Types of crochet, crocheting, carving and so on ... are from Isfahan handicrafts, you can find all sorts of them in the field. 

My suggestion is to buy from the inside of the market. The shops inside the market are usually themselves producers, and when you arrive, they are online and produce cheaper ones.

Eat a meal!

Well, after all, you are probably turning around and looking for a fast food, but the fastest food I suggest to you is the traditional food of Isfahan Barani.

The food is incredibly luscious and you will not regret eating it (just remember that the food is completely fatty and some salt is harmful if you do not eat it better) 

You can easily find this food in the field itself and you can easily find it (most Barbecues cooked)

If you are looking for a restaurant, you can find a traditional restaurant on the southern side of the Spadana Square market.

There are a lot of fast food in the entire Chaharbag Abbasi route (from the gate to the thirty-three bridge), and each one is trying to attract customers by providing better food.

And at the end of the Zayandeh River, the Always Live Isfahan River, which is very beautiful and very fun to walk.

Approximate distance of walkways:

Thirty-three bridges to Ferdowsi Bridge for 10 minutes

Ferdowsi bridge to bridge 6 minutes

Bridge to Khaju Bridge 6 minutes

Ferdowsi's bridge to the role of the world for 35 minutes

Khaju Bridge to the state gate 25 minutes

The Government Gate to the Square of the World 12 Dfigha

From the Place of the Universe to the old square (market order) 30 minutes.
