Praying in Isfahan
Isfahan — 'half the world', as the Persian proverb says — is Iran's great architectural jewel, a city of around 2.3 million people on the Zayandeh River. Shah Abbas I made it his capital in 1598 and built Naqsh-e Jahan Square, one of the world's largest public squares, ringed by the Shah Mosque's towering portal, the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque's cream dome, and the Qeysariyeh bazaar.
The Shah Mosque (Masjed-e Shah), completed in 1629, is the masterpiece of Safavid architecture — its seven-colour tilework, soaring 52-metre portal and whispering-gallery dome represent the pinnacle of Persian mosque design. The Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, with its single-shell dome shifting colour through the day, was the royal family's private chapel. At 32.7°N on a 1,500-metre plateau, Isfahan's seasons are dramatic: summer Fajr near 3:15 AM with Maghrib past 8:10 PM, winter Fajr around 5:45 AM with Maghrib near 5:15 PM. The Si-o-se-pol bridge's 33 arches light up at night as families stroll after evening prayers. Note: Iranian mosques use the Jafari method — select it in the dropdown above for the closest match to local timetables.
