13821156 - In Tehran, men practise Varzesh-e Pahlavani or Zurkhaneh, a traditional system of athletics originally used to train warriors in Persia (Iran) that combines martial arts, strength training, wrestling and music. It fuses elements of pre-Islamic Persian culture (particularly Zoroastrianism, Mithraism and Gnosticism) with the spirituality of Shia Islam and sufism. Practiced in a domed structure called the zurkhaneh, training sessions consist mainly of ritual gymnastic movements.71421867 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Bethlehem Armenian Church, Interior71421865 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Elevated View Of Central City Towards Royal Mosque71421864 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Si-O-Seh Bridge, Dawn71421863 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Jameh Mosque, Interior Detail71421860 - Central Iran, Shiraz, Bazar-E Vakil Market, Traditional Metal Souvenirs71421856 - Central Iran, Shiraz, Quran Gateway Walls, Evening71421870 - Central Iran, Natanz, Jameh Mosque, Minaret71421858 - Central Iran, Shiraz, Nasir-Al Molk Mosque, Holy Quran71421876 - Iran, Tehran, Azadi Tower, Freedom Tower Monument71421862 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Jameh Mosque, Exterior71421861 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Si-O-Seh Bridge, Dawn71421857 - Central Iran, Shiraz, Nasir-Al Molk Mosque, Interior71421855 - Central Iran, Shiraz, Quran Gateway, Dusk71421853 - Central Iran, Yazd, Amir Chakhmaq Complex, One Of The Largest Hosseinieh Complexes In Iran, Dusk71421869 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Naqsh-E Jahan Imam Square, Fountains, Late Afternoon71421866 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Elevated View Of Central City Towards Royal Mosque71421859 - Central Iran, Shiraz, Nasir-Al Molk Mosque, Holy Quran71411812 - Iran, Central Iran, Shiraz, Naqsh-e Rostam, Sassanian stone reliefs cut into mountain71421874 - Central Iran, Abyaneh, Elevated Village View, Dawn71421871 - Central Iran, Natanz, Jameh Mosque, Arches71421868 - Central Iran, Esfahan, Si-O-Seh Bridge, Late Afternoon71421875 - Central Iran, Kashan, Khan-E Boroujerdi, Traditional Carpet Merchant'S House, Ornate Plasterwork71421872 - Central Iran, Abyaneh, Elevated Village View71421854 - Southeastern Iran, Mahan, Aramgah-E Shah Nematollah Vali, Mausoleum Of Sufi Dervish Shah Nematollah Vali, 15Th Century, Exterior71398356 - The Buruciye Medrese (Madrasah) built in 1271 by Dr. Muzaffer Burucerdi of Iran as a school teach physics,chemistry and astronomy.
