At night time you have the singers coming singing under the bridge.the bridge from one side does a barrage for the water and from the other side it is a beautiful sound of water going to the river.

This bridge is clearly a great favourite with locals, many of whom congregate there to take photos, meet, have picnics and cool down by wading in the shallow waters.
8. Royal Mosque (Masjid-i-Shah)
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By RodF428 - Royal Wootton Bassett, United Kingdom
We had just visited the beautiful Sheikh Lotfullah mosque, but even that pales before the grandeur of the Royal mosque, which was built from 18,000,000 sun-dried bricks, and 475,000 tiles. The entrance portal ensemble has been described as the finest in all of the Islamic world. The arch is an immense structure, some 90 feet high, flanked by minarets some 120 feet tall. This is mostly decorated with true, individually cut mosaic tiles, but is flanked by a mixture of true mosaics, and haft-rangi (7-coloured) tiles. The use of this technique allowed for much faster tile production, and thus completion of the complex. The main courtyard and prayer halls are coloured in tilework lacks the richness of true tilework, and is a paler blue than the gentian blue of Timurid tilework. With so much of the walls coloured in tiles, that probably softens what would otherwise be a riot of bright colours. If you stand in the centre of the sanctuary and clap, the acoustics are extraordinary. One big surprise was the inclusion of animal figures on some sanctuary tiles. I didn't expect that! A truly amazing complex.

Highlight: history and architecture Worth a visit?? Absolutely yes Need a tour guide: yes. Every corner is a complete mystery that can be solved by a tour guide. Time of visit: during the daytime Recommended length of visit: 1 hour Photogenic views: yes. Take photograph to your heart’s content. Located in a touristic area? Yes Public transport accessibility? Yes. On a trip to Isfahan, the first suggestion is to visit Naghsh Jahan Square. The Imam Mosque of Isfahan is one of the most significant buildings of the Safavid era, formerly known as the Shah Mosque, the New Soltani Mosque and the Jame Abbasid Mosque. This magnificent mosque dates back to four hundred years ago. Shah Abbas I built this spectacular mosque in the famous Naghsh Jahan (Imam) Square in Isfahan to be a symbol of the science and art of Iranian architecture in the world. A magnificent square to the south of which stands a large turquoise colored dome. In the seven-color tiles of Imam Mosque, blue color is superior to other colors, and the tiles have been used in designs, colors and patterns that give the mosque a heavenly and spiritual atmosphere. Another important and of course interesting point is, a 3D perspective view of this mosque is also available on "Google Earth".
