The Kazan Kremlin, a major cultural complex in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, hosted a photo exhibition showcasing the historical, cultural, and religious attractions of Shiraz, a southern Iranian city. According to Pars Today, the exhibition featured works by Iranian photographers, including images of cultural and historical landmarks such as the Shah Cheragh Shrine, Hafezieh, Saadi Tomb, Karim Khan Citadel, Persepolis, Pasargad, Vakil Mosque, Nasir al-Mulk Mosque, Shiraz Bazaar, as well as various natural and cultural landscapes from Fars Province.
According to reports, the exhibited works offered visitors a glimpse of the rich civilization and artistic heritage of Fars Province through photography. The cultural event was organized in cooperation with the municipalities of Shiraz and Kazan, two cities that have previously signed a sister-city agreement.
The exhibition will remain open to the public for one month, until November 20, 2025, at the Kazan Kremlin cultural complex.
At the opening ceremony of the exhibition, Davood Mirzakhani, Consul General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Kazan, visited the displayed works. Speaking on the sidelines, Mirzakhani highlighted the importance of cultural interactions between nations, stating that exhibitions like this play a key role in introducing Iran’s culture, history, and art, serving as a cultural bridge between peoples.
He also emphasized that Shiraz, known as Iran’s “shining pearl,” symbolizes Persian poetry, literature, and civilization, and that holding such an exhibition in Kazan can help promote mutual understanding and expand cultural and tourism cooperation between the two countries.
Mirzakhani expressed hope that the continuation of such events would further strengthen cultural and people-to-people ties between Iran and the Republic of Tatarstan.
