Isfahan was once one of the largest cities in the world, flourishing from 1050 to 1722, particularly in the 16th & 17th centuries during the Safavid dynasty, when it became the capital of Persia for the second time in its history. Even today, this Iranian city retains much of its past glory. It is famous for its Persian–Islamic architecture, with many beautiful palaces, boulevards, mosques, minarets and bridges. This led to the Persian proverb “Esfahān nesf-e- jahān ast" (Isfahan is half of the world). Naqsh-e Jahan Square (Persian: میدان نقش جهان‎ Maidān-e Naqsh-e Jahān; transl: "Image of the World Square") is located at the centre of Isfahan. Built between 1598 and 1629, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has an area of almost 90,000 sq metres (964,000 sq ft). Also referred to as Shah Square or Imam Square, it is surrounded by buildings from the Safavid era, including the Grand Bazaar (Persian: Bazar Bozorg, بازار بزرگ, also known as "Qeysarriyeh Bazaar" (بازار قيصريه).
