Iran (Persian: ايران /irɑːn/), formerly Persia (until 1935), is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations and became one of the largest empires in history. It is an ancient nation whose past dates back well over two and a half millenniums.
No number of monuments, museums or ancient mosques can truly represent the depth of Persian history, but Iran makes a brave attempt.
