please put aside your nationality and religion and race and also politics. and answer this question about the architecture and art.
Rome is a very famous city specially for the architecture of its beautiful churches and historical places.
in Isfahan Iran there is also very beeautiful mosquses and building , below are links to some photos :
i didnt put any photo’s from Rome because most of the people have already seen many photos.
The shots are from a part of walls or ceiling (the interioir of the dome)
the shots are not taken by me, the name of photographer is mentioned in flickr.com
I suggest that you enlarge the photos.
most of the pattern are not painting but tilework!!!

i like Horizon’s album alot
@ p.G. haha that was funny man dont be sorry its your idea.
and I think both are beautifull but i will go with isfahan
@anabella i agree that we should admire both and that my question is not very technical but i was just wondering which one do u like more.only your ideas

Personally, I find Isfahan absolutely beautiful, but I don’t know why you want to oppose it to Rome. It’s completely different, and the architectural value of each city cannot be compared, especially as, if I am not mistaken, Isfahan’s finest buildings belong to one particular period, 16th and 17th centuries whereas Rome’s architectural masterpieces date back to both Antiquity and the Renaissance.
So, why not admire both cities without choosing?

   Will I get best answering by responding Isfahan? (jk) Well, I do find Islamic architecture very beautiful, but I’m a Latin minor, so I have to go with Rome. Sorry lad.
