For Iranians, the historic central city of Isfahan is the cradle of modern-day polo.
During the 16th century, the #Safavid #ShahAbbas, famed for the architectural marvels built in Isfahan, ordered the construction of a huge polo field in Naqsh-e Jahan Square in the city center so he could watch players from a terrace in his palace.
