  • The 17th-century Ālī Qāpū in #Isfahan #Iran was initially built as a gate to access the Safavid palaces from the Naqsh-e Jahan Square. Composed of six floors and tallying 160-ft (48-m) high, the palace is an iconic site in Isfahan. But what was the most impressive in my opinion was the top floor music hall, where the entire walls feature niches in different shapes and forms. In addition to the striking look, the unusual architecture made for incredible acoustic. Of course, from the main hall make sure to enjoy the sweeping views onto Naqsh-e Jahan Square, as you see Isfahan strolling the famous plaza, eating Isfahan' s popular Bastani za'farani (saffron ice cream) or admiring the reflections from one of the square pools. . . . . . . . 🇫🇷 Le palace Ālī Qāpū, construit au XVIIe siècle à Ispahan, a été construit à l’origine comme une passerelle de la place Naqsh-e Jahan vers les palais safavides. Composé de six étages et d'une hauteur de 48 m, le palais est un site emblématique d'Ispahan. Mais ce qui était le plus impressionnant à mon avis était le music-hall situé au dernier étage, où les murs entiers présentent des niches de formes et de formes différentes. En plus du look saisissant, l'architecture inhabituelle permettait une acoustique exceptionnelle. Bien sûr, depuis le hall principal, assurez-vous de profiter de la vue imprenable sur la place Naqsh-e Jahan, lorsque vous voyez Isfahan flâner sur la célèbre place, dévorant le populaire Bastani za'farani (crème glacée au safran) d'Ispahan ou admirant les reflets de l'un des piscines carrées. . . #aroundtheworld #exploretheworld #igtravel #tourtheplanet #travel #traveldeeper #travelphotography #zewanderingfrogs #caravanistan #Tourism_IRAN #IRANTRAVEL #iran_tourism #iran_insta_pic #irantraveling #iranphotography #visitiran #iranpics #tourdumonde #voyageursdumonde #isfahanarchitecture #architecture_view #architecturephotos #ancientpersia #persia #aliqapupalace
