The Qeysarie gate is a historical gate in the main entrance of the Bazaar of Isfahan and Qeysarie Bazaar in Isfahan, Iran.
The gate had had originally 3 floors, but the third floor was destroyed later. The destroyed third floor had been a Naqqarekhane. The gate was built in the 17th century during the Safavid era.
It’s a beautiful gate with beautiful architectural details and murals all over it.

The Shah Mosque is a mosque located on the south side of Naghsh-e Jahan Square. It was built during the Safavid dynasty under the order of Shah Abbas I of Persia.
is regarded as one of the masterpieces of Persian architecture in the Islamic era. The Royal Mosque is registered, along with the Naghsh-e Jahan Square, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its construction began in 1611.
The mosque was the crown jewel of the Shah Abbas I’s plan to make Isfahan the capital of the Safavid empire, which would replace the much older Jameh Mosque in conducting the Friday prayers. To achieve this, the Shah Mosque was constructed not only with vision of grandeur, having the largest dome in the city, but Shaykh Bahai also planned the construction of two religious schools and a winter mosque clamped at either side of it.
The mosque is truly a breathtaking masterpiece, the architecture, the interior tile-work, the ornaments, the domes, the beautiful dominant blue color, all were in a great harmony to produce such an amazing sight to the eyes.
It’s definitely the most beautiful site in Isfahan, and one of the most beautiful mosques i’ve been to.
