About the city of Isfahan:  Located in central Iran, Isfahan has long been a center for the arts.  Because it served as the capital for the Safavid dynasty, it is full of amazing mosques and palaces.  At every stop, the sight seer finds amazing tile work designs.  Weaving has long been an equally artistic and intricate process in Isfahan.  Isfahan carpets have long been famous for their intricate, delicate curves and graceful floral designs.
