An ancient land tainted by history, Iran dates back to 4,000 BC and boasts one of the world’s oldest and most continuing major civilizations. It is decorated with a wealth of cultural treasures, including bazaars, museums, mosques, bridges, baths, madrasas, gardens and diverse natural landscapes complemented by 28 UNESCO labels. Looking through a wider lens, Iranian history unfolds in two different periods, pre-Islamic and Islam. The rise of Medes in 625 BC combined Iranian unity into states and empires. However, it was Persian Islamic conquest (633–656) that signaled a pivotal moment, ending the powerful Sassanid Empire (224–651) and reconstructing the country’s history course.
