The Safavid Capital: Isfahan's Urban Revolution
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Shah Abbas I transformed Isfahan from a provincial town into the grand capital of the Safavid Empire. They walk through the Naqsh-e Jahan square, the Chahar Bagh avenue, and the Si-o-se-pol bridge, discussing the urban planning, the role of Shaykh Bahai in engineering, and the legacy of the city's architecture. The conversation touches on the integration of different communities, the symbolism of the Maydan, and how Isfahan became the heart of a renewed Persian identity. #Safavid #Isfahan #ShahAbbas #UrbanPlanning #PersianArchitecture #Naqsh-eJahan…
