"Pleasant is Shiraz and its incomparable state!" Thus sings Hafez, the greatest Persian lyrical poet about his beloved hometown. The pictures in this album were taken during my recent visit to Shiraz and among the different sites are The Hafez Mausoleum, The Karim Khan Citadell, The Nasir al-Molk Mosque, The Vakil Bazaar and Mosque, The Khan School and The Tomb of Rouzbehan Baqli

That's my hometown. We were wine makers, now we have switched to vinegar (unless trusted, we can also provide wine). The city of Flowers and nightingales :)

Thanks for taking these almost people-free pictures. Beautiful, indeed. Next trip, please remember to visit Sa'di's tomb as well. :-)

Beautiful Pictures!

I checked the link, and it's written in swedish :(

Can you please kindly translate this for me.

Kärlekens religion står vid sidan om varje trosbekännelse,

Ty de som älskar Gud har ingen konfession än Gud allena!

Rumi

 

Thanks,

So unbelievably beautiful. It's like jewel. The evolution and the perfection of Sumerian-Assyrian-Babylonian architecture through the original Persian essence and genius. A school of its own the world over. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
