What looks like an ordinary Iranian town is hiding an extraordinary secret.
Beneath Nushabad, in Isfahan Province, an underground network of rooms, wells and passageways stretches as deep as 18 metres (59.1 feet) below ground, built so residents could take shelter without fleeing their homes.
Hidden access points, some concealed beneath kitchen ovens, connected houses across town to this subterranean world.
Discover the Iran the world rarely gets to see.
