Isfahan was the capital of the Safavid state in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the squares, mosques and bridges it gained then have made it the most visited city in Iran. The Naqsh-e Jahan square at its centre is among the largest historic squares in the world and entered the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1979, while the Shah Mosque and the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque framing it are known for their turquoise and deep blue tilework. Turkish Airlines and Pegasus fly direct from both Istanbul airports, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 3 hours 25 minutes.
