The latest sites inscribed include: Sheikh Safi al-Din Khānegāh and Shrine Ensemble in Ardabil Built between the beginning of the 16th century and the end of the 18th century, this place of spiritual retreat in the Sufi tradition uses Iranian traditional architectural forms to maximize use of available space to accommodate a variety of functions (including a library, a mosque, a school, mausolea, a cistern, a hospital, kitchens, a bakery, and some offices). It incorporates a route to reach the shrine of the Sheikh divided into seven segments, which mirror the seven stages of Sufi mysticism, separated by eight gates, which represent the eight attitudes of Sufism. The ensemble includes well-preserved and richly ornamented facades and interiors, with a remarkable collection of antique artefacts. It constitutes a rare ensemble of elements of medieval Islamic architecture.

Over time, each master\\\'s own interpretation has shaped and added new melodies to this collection, which may bear the master\\\'s name.The preservation of these melodies greatly depended on each successive generations\\\' memory and mastery, since the interpretive origin of this music was expressed only through the oral tradition.To truly learn and absorb the essence of the Radif, many years of repetition and practice are required. A master of the Radif must internalize the Radif so completely to be able to perform any part of it at any given time. The Radif contains several different Maqam\\\'s which are distinguished from each other by their relationship of note intervals and the form of the movement of the melodies within them. A Maqam portrays a specific sonic space. A Dastgah may contain approximately from 10 to 30 gousheh\\\'s (melodies). The principle Gousheh\\\'s of the Dastgah specify the different Gaqams within that Dastgah. The note, upon which the Gousheh is based and often is the center of the Gousheh, is called the Shahead. The Shahead moves when we modulate between ... http://www.tourismiran.ir/main.php?t=7&cid=63&id=DECBB155&lng=en 2010-06-19 Nowrūz: The greatest Iranian festivalIt is at least 3000 years the Iranian people celebrate the first day of spring –when the Sun enters the point of Vernal Equinox-- as the beginning of the Persian New Year. The Nowrūz (lit. New Time) is one of the oldest national festivals of Iran surviving to the present day. It has played a significant role in helping preserve the continuity of the Persian culture. In spite of Iran\\\'s eventful history from 1000 BC to the present day, there is reason to believe that the celebration of Nowrūz has not experienced any significant changes since the ancient times. It is thus a means of maintaining cultural concord among the people of Iranian plateau and the entire Persian-speaking world. Today, No wrūz is celebrated in the same way in numerous parts of the globe. It is also revered by Iranians as a symbol of their national identity and cultural heritage.The legend says King Jamshīd celebrated the rushing fires of spring after the last glacial period was over. An account of this age is given in the Avesta: "There were ten months of winter there, and two months of summer, and these were cold for the waters, cold for the earth, cold for the trees." The ancient people thought it was the best day of the year because it was a day of renewal for ... http://www.tourismiran.ir/main.php?t=7&cid=63&id=820D30EB&lng=en
