After that the city entered the Turkish dominance in the 11th century (in the time of Toghrul Beg). Isfahan -as a capital city- has undergone quite a prosperous cycle in the era of Seljuk ruler Malik Shah. After that Ilkhanid, Timurid and Aq Qoyunlu states took hold the city. Isfahan was conquered by Safavid in the 16th century. The city was the most spectacular mountain range by transfering to the capital of state in the period of mighty ruler Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1629). In this article we will try to shed light on the political and socio-cultural status of the city of Isfahan between the 9th and 10th centuries, according to the Islamic geographers and historians. The historical frame of our study will mostly be from the process of Sasani and Islam conquests to the Seljuk domination.
