The capital of Fars province in the heartland of Iran, this city of historic monuments, poets, philosophers, warriors and kings is also the city of the revolutionaries who incited the Islamic revolution. Iran’s intellectual capital remains a thriving enclave of contemporary debate, but there is little evidence of political upheaval as you traipse down endless tree-shaded, blossom-lined avenues. It is traditionally called the city of roses and nightingales and its cypresses, wrote an early traveller ‘are the loftiest in the universe.’
