There are other historical monuments in the square including Ali Qapu Palace, Imam Mosque, Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque, Qeisarieh Gate. In addition to these monuments, there are 200 chambers around the square, in which Isfahan's handicrafts are presented.
In comparison with "Place de la Concorde" in Paris, Naghsh-e-jahan Square is historically superior, and after "Tiananmen Square" in Beijing, it is the second largest square in the world. Due to the harmony existing in the construction of it, Naghsh-e-Jahan Square has surprised Europeans during centuries.
The square was registered in Iran's National Heritage on January 28, 1935 under the registration number of 102. Also, it was among the first Iranian monuments, which was registered in UNESCO World Heritage in April, 1979 under the registration number of 115.
The square was named "Shah Square" after it was built, and it was registered in World Heritage list under this name. Currently, however, it is known as "Imam Square" in that list.
