After the Arab Conquest of Persia and the fall of Sassanid Dynasty, Iran became an Islamic country. This new religion gradually interweaved with the thousands of years of civilization that already existed and gave birth to architectural, artistic, literary and spiritual beauties that have made Iran even more precious.
