DISCOVERING IRAN’S HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE RECOGNIZED BY UNESCO

As part of an exhibition dedicated to Iran’s historical and cultural heritage, first-year students of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University explored architectural landmarks included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The students learned about the ancient ruins of Persepolis, Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, Golestan Palace in Tehran, and the Dome of Soltaniyeh. These remarkable sites reflect Iran’s rich history, distinctive Persian architecture, and the global significance of its cultural heritage. 

The exhibition broadened students’ horizons, encouraged intercultural understanding, and highlighted the importance of preserving historical monuments for future generations.
