Designs, motifs, and patterns
Persian rugs are made up of a layout and a design which in general
included one or a number of motifs. The Iran Carpet Company, a
specialist in the subject, has attempted to classify Persian carpet
designs and has carried out studies of thousands of rugs.Their results show that there have been slight alterations and
improvements to almost all original designs. In its classification the
company has called the original designs as the 'main pattern' and the
derivatives as the 'sub patterns'. They have identified 19 groups,
including: historic monuments and Islamic buildings, Shah Abbassi
patterns, spiral patterns, all-over patterns, derivative patterns,
interconnected patterns, paisley patterns, tree patterns, Turkoman
patterns, hunting ground patterns, panel patterns, European flower
patterns, vase patterns, intertwined fish patterns, Mehrab patterns,
striped patterns, geometric patterns, tribal patterns, and composites.
my Persian carpet was made up of Shah Abbassi and spiral arabesque patterns.

Masjed-e Jame Abbasi (Shah). Isfahan
The Crown Jewel in the Naghs-e Jahan Square was the Masjed-e Shah, which would replace the much older Jameh Mosque in conducting the Friday prayers. To achieve this, the Shah Mosque was constructed not only with vision of grandeur, having the largest dome in the city, but Shaykh Bahai also planned the construction of a religious school and a winter-mosque clamped at either side of it.

Qeysarriyeh Bazaar
The Grand Bazaar is a structure in Isfahan, Iran, also known as "Qeysarriyeh Bazaar" (in Persian: بازار قيصريه).
It was originally constructed during the 11th century, in the southeast wing of Jame Mosque and Kohne Square but various arcades and rooms were later added to it. The present remnant dates from the Safavid period, during which the Qaysariya Bazaar was built in the north wing of Naqshe Jahan Square , and was developed as a subtitute for Kohneh Square .

Ali Qapu
The Golden Age of Isfahan arrived in the 16th century under Shah Abbas the great .(1587–1629), who conquered it and made it the new capital of the Safavid dynasty. During the reign of Shah Abbas I, who unified Persia, Isfahan reached its pinnacle. Isfahan had parks, libraries and mosques that amazed Europeans.
Ali Qapu is located on the western side of the Naghshe Jahan Square opposite toSheikh Lotfolah mosque , and had been originally designed as a vast portal. It is forty-eight meters high and there are seven floors, each accessible by a difficult spiral staircase. In the sixth floor music room, deep circular niches are found in the walls, having not only aesthetic value, but also acoustic.
