Highlights of
Iran
" In any survey of the Islamic world .... the essential difference of Iran and the Iranian world would be most striking. Ethnically, linguistically, historically , and even in its religious convictions, Iran differs from most of the Islamic world, a fact well illustrated in the development of the architecture in Islamic Iran ". Antony Hutt & Leonard Harrow - Islamic Architecture IRAN 1
