A tour of lesser-known monuments in Esfahan

Hasht Behesht Park is located west of Espae's largest square, Naqsh-e Jahan. Along the way you will pass the history museum. If you have more time you can of course visit.

Just a short walk from the Historical Museum is the beautiful Chehel Sotun Palace, which served the local rulers. Here, too, it pays to go inside if you have time. This palace boasts truly lavish interiors.

Hasht Behesht Park is an oasis of well-being in the otherwise hot Esfahan. An ideal place to relax while exploring Esfahan

The most important monument in Hasht Behesht Park is the palace of the same name

Iranians, as a nation living mainly in desert areas and struggling for most of the year with great heat, love shady parks, fountains and water in general. Wherever possible, you will find fountains, ponds and pools

The Armenian Quarter is the furthest from the center of all major monuments. It is located almost at the southern end of the city. Its center is the interesting cathedral Vank. It is famous for its beautiful frescoes, so if it is open you will definitely not hesitate to enter

In addition to the Vank Cathedral, you will find other churches in the Armenian Quarter, such as the Church of St. Marie.
