Isfahan’s Naqsh-e Jahan Square

TEHRAN, June 20 (MNA) – Naqsh-e Jahan Square, located in Isfahan Province, was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1979.

At nearly 1700 feet long, comprising the Imam Mosque, the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, the Aali-Qapu Palace and the Qeisarieh Bazaar, the 17th-century square is twice the size of Red Square in Moscow and seven times the size of St. Mark’s Square in Venice. Indeed, after Tiananmen Square in Beijing, it is the second largest square in the world.
