Isfahan

A city and province in central Iran, where Ibn Sina spent his last years at the court of Ala al-Dawla. It was a Seljuk capital under Tughril Beg and Malikshah, then the Safavid capital that Shah Abbas replanned around the Maydan-i Shah. It suffered massacre and siege under Timur and the Afghans, and today keeps one of the most significant complexes of Islamic monuments preserved in a modern city.
