The Nasir al-Mulk Mosque is a popular tourist attraction in Shiraz due to its colourful interior and stained glass windows.
A beautiful mosque with unusual stained glass windows.
Not the most famous mosque in Shiraz, but nevertheless one of the most beautiful. It has stained glass windows and the light makes it seem like a perfect blend of both mosque and cathedral. It is a beautiful and peaceful place.

Such a unique and beautiful mosque.
You should avoid avoid going on fridays when it's more busy. 8am recommend to see the sun hitting the floor through the colored windows. I went at 9:30am and the sun hit the wall instead of the floor.
No point in going in the afternoon/evening when the sun doesn't go through the windows.
1 million rial entry fee for foreigners in May 2022.

Must see in Shiraz. Visited there at 0815 hrs in early March. Perfect sun light shining through the mosque. Many local and international visitors by 0830 hrs so best to start early! If women, you will be rented out with manitou. At the entrance on your right, you will have a famous stained glass prayer room. Morning sun light gives fantastic pics. Just so amazing to be in the room. Be aware many people around though as everyone seems to be busy taking pictures while you may wish to enjoy a quiet moment to appreciate the positive power the mosque can offer. I also loved other parts of this “pink” mosque. It is located among many other beautiful place to worship and visit. I spend only 30 minutes here.

It contains a square shape garden with some waterworks in the middle, the common Iranian architectucry.
Then you walk through the main part, mosque which has a medium meter covered by colorful carpets.
Pillars are decorated with variety of huo mosaics and different pattern on them.
The apple of Nasir al-Mulk mosque and the greatest thing it's known for obvi is its big colored windows with wooden frame and you'll witness a lovely and dreamy scene while sun is shining bright.
Sadly the day we visited was partly cloudy but anyway we had a joyous time to have the chance of visiting it in person, here are photos taken by me not a perfect quality though 🙂

It’s small but beautiful colorful mosque. I went at noon and I can still see some beautiful lights but I think in the morning when most of the sunlight shines directly through the colorful window it’s the most beautiful but there’s too many people taking pictures.
Ceilings and walls are so beautiful.
Women are required to cover their whole body from head to toes when inside…. They will distribute you long robes.

The mosque was built during the Qajar dynasty, and is still in use under protection by the Endowment Foundation of Nasir al Molk. Construction began in 1876 by the order of Mirza Hassan Ali Nasir-ol-Mulk, one of the lords and aristocrats of Shiraz, the son of Ali Akbar Qavam al-Mulk, the kalantar of Shiraz and was completed in 1888. The designers were Mohammad Hasan-e-Memār, an Persian architect who had also built the noted Eram Garden before the Nasir al-Molk Mosque, Mohammad Hosseini Shirazi, and Mohammad Rezā Kāshi-Sāz-e-Širāzi.

Beautiful little mosque. The famous stained glass windows were a bit of a disappointment, but the beautiful tile work in the rest of the mosque more than made up for it.
Eduardo Penna — Google review
It’s much more beautiful than any online pictures. You don’t have to just line up to take a picture from the colorful reflections from the glass window(like you see everywhere), the mosque and shrine, also the museum( gift shop) themselves deserve much more attention and exploration.

A true gem!!! Nasir-ol-Molk mosque is one of the most spectacular mosques in Iran, and is famous for its vibrant colourful glasses and unexampled tilings. It has also been also named the Pink Mosque of Iran. The beam of sunlight and the passage of light through colored glass by combining red, azure, yellow, orange, and green colors create the indescribable image in the interior of this Shabestan. This image blends with the brilliant art of stone carving, the magnificent art of colorful Qajar tiling and arches, lead to creating a dreamy atmosphere of Nasir al-Molk Mosque in Shiraz. 10-11 am is the best time to take amazing photos. Highly recommended!!!

This mosque is really incredible! Which is famous to pink mosque between tourists. The pink lights , unique architecture,nice courtyard,and so many interesting side to advantur.
If you are going to travel to shiraz so just make sure you"ll give that a try to catch it up.
The Shah Cheragh Mosque is a Shia Muslim pilgrimage site, funerary monument and mosque. The architecture of the building and the mirror work make it highly popular with tourists from all over the world.
Amazing! This has really grabbed me by surprise. This is something new for sure. Can not compare it to some grand mosque or so.. Best to visit at Golden hour/sunrise/twilight.
No bags allowed, but there is deposit besides, for free. Entry is for free. Foreigners are only allowed with a guide (free). You might have to wait a few minutes until an available guide arrives. Opening hours for foreigners is 8:30am to 9:30pm

Beware of the enchanting effect of the place! You could spend some time mesmerized by the beauty of it, lifting your spiritual senses high up. The mosque and the shrine were decorated in accordance with what the name stands for "The King of Lights". It is kind of a smaller area similar to the one in Qom (Fatemeh Masumeh's mosque+shrine). The best thing is they assign the tourists with personnel that informs you of the place and the people named after it, which is a service we'd very be pleased to have in Qom as well. :) Be mindful that if you're a female tourist, the personnel in the security makes you wear "Chador" (full cover hijab), but it has a great feeling to it.

Wonderful place, such peaceful and serene atmosphere... There's free tourist information service where you can get information about everything. Actually, we were said that it was compulsory for foreign tourists to be accompanied by an attendant who provides information for free, and it was really helpful. The place that I love the most in Shiraz.

Another good spot in Shiraz to visit. Located directly at the main road. It's walkable if you are staying nearby District 8.
What's interesting is that you will find yourself looking at the ceiling most of the time, because it is so beautiful. Sit down at one corner and just start the wall ceiling around you.
I recommend visit during the evening time. Then, head out to grab some snacks nearby the streets. It's also walkable.

The site was given this name due to the nature of the discovery of the site by Ayatullah Dastghā'ib (the great grandfather of the contemporary Ayatullah Dastghā'ib). He used to see light from a distance and decided to investigate the source. He found that the light was being emitted by a grave within a graveyard. The grave that emitted the light was excavated, and a body wearing an armor was discovered. The body was wearing a ring saying al-‘Izzatu Lillāh, Ahmad bin Mūsā, meaning "The Pride belongs to God, Ahmad son of Musa". Thus it became known that this was the burial site of the sons of Mūsā al-Kādhim.

The most beutiful shrine in Iran IMHO (I haven't seen them all, of course). I arrived here before 11 pm, such night sightseeing was more attractive than during a day. All lights were on, it was after the rain and on the ground lights were reflecting / shining / glowing in puddles. The view was breathtaking. Just take a look at my photos.

I was a bit sceptical about going to see yet another mosque during our trip, but it was really stunning, so I was very happy that we finally decided to come here. Sadly we did not have a lot of time to wander around and you really need some, cause the complex is massive. There are short tours for tourists to tell couple details about the place

This shrine was gorgeous. The mirrors all over made it gorgeous, like I was stepping into a diamond room. It took them a while to get my chador, but I guess it was because I was a guest. And I had to get a special one for some reason.
The memorial park Tomb of Hafez in Shiraz, Iran is a popular destination for poetry enthusiasts and tourists from all over the world. The park features a dramatic pavilion and memorial hall dedicated to the famous Persian poet, who spent most of his life in the city. His poems have been read for thousands of years and continue to be loved today.
A famous Persian poet, Hafez, is buried here. Plenty of Iranians come to pay their respects to a beloved poet and there are verses of his work inscribed on his tomb. Without knowing the poet, tourists may get less out of this than others, but it is still wonderful to see how much the Iranians treasure their spectacular literary heritage. Nearby is the mausoleum of the power Qavam family, as well as other eminent people of Shiraz, including the archaeologist who did much of the excavation of Persepolis.
David Dancey — Google review
Tomb of Hafez is like a holy site for many Iranians who regard Hafez as the greatest poet ever lived.
The place is extremely clean and well organized. It gets packed by visitors and locals towards the evening. It's a quiet place. Hafez's poetry playing in the background has a calming affect despite the crowd.
The place also has a nice cafe and a couple of souvenir shops within the complex.

A must to see!!! Probably the most celebrated Persian poet, whether among Iranians or literature enthusiasts from around the world, is Khaje Shams al-din Mohammad known as Hafez. Tomb of Hafez is locally called Hafeziyeh. The current mausoleum was designed in 1935 by Andre Godard, a French architect, with the help of some Iranian architects. It consists of an octagonal pavilion structure topped with a hat-shaped dome. Highly recommended!!!

Visited in early evening of the restored tomb of Hafez in early March. Romance in the air as many locals and tourists gather in the pavilion. Walking around grave yard as a tourist and s rather interesting experience but quite zen. Many couples and groups of friends are there so it can be rather crowded but it would be nice to visit there. If you love Hafez poem and want to learn more as a non Farsi speaker, you may not get full sense of his life work… after all it is a tomb! Wonderful place to be with someone to visit!

A must visit site if you're in Shiraz. This tomb was dedicated to one of the greatest Persian poets, Hafez-e Shirazi. His tomb was surrounded by a lovely dome with a huge garden around it which the locals use as a family hangout place.
Within the complex, you can also find the tombs of the Qavam family, the wealthiest and most powerful family in Shiraz during the Shah period.

Any trip to Shiraz is incomplete without a visit to Hafeziyeh. Hafez is one if the mostly quoted Persian poet whose poems in praise of love and life has captivated many generations of Iranian throughout the centuries after his death. His tomb is a place to find solace for people deeply in love with his poetry.

The Tomb of Hafez (Persian: آرامگاه حافظ), commonly known as Hāfezieh (حافظیه), are two memorial structures erected on the northern edge of Shiraz, Iran, on the memory of the celebrated Persian poet Hafez. The open pavilion structures are situated in the Musalla Gardens on the north bank of a seasonal river and house the marble tomb of Hafez. The present buildings, built in 1935 and designed by the French architect and archaeologist André Godard, are at the site of previous structures, the best-known of which was built in 1773. The tomb, its gardens, and the surrounding memorials to other significant figures are a focus of tourism in Shiraz. Wikipedia

Hafez Mausoleum known as Hafeziya, Shiraz, Iran, in memory of the famous Persian poet Hafez.
The city of Shiraz is like a dream land with historical places and a very amazing past. Many famous poets lived in this city.
This is the precious poet of Persian language named Khwaja Shamsuddin Muhammad bin Bahauddin Hafiz Shirazi, who was born in this city in 727 AH. Hafez died in this city after 65 years.
This person's poems are very famous even in western countries and many of her poems are translated and read by them. Hafez is called the founder of Persian poetry and 20 seals are named after this poet. This special day is when all lovers around the world cherish it.
Although Hafez died in 792, her tomb was built in the following years. For the first time, a person named Mohammad Yaghmai decided to build this tomb. This person was the ruling minister of Fars at that time.
April is the best time to travel to Shiraz and visit the sights of Shiraz. because at this time the orange trees have blossomed and their smell has filled the whole city. The fifteenth of Ardibehesht month is also considered Shiraz day.
The cost of visiting Hafiziyah: for domestic tourists and for foreign tourists is 50 tomans.

Hafez the greatest master of Persian lyric poetry and the literary giant of the 14th century in the west and central Asia, was born in Shiraz, lived all his life here, sang its praises in unsurpassed verse and was buried in a garden known after him as the Hafezieh, in the northeast part of the city. The wide appeal of this poet among all Persian-speaking people make his tomb a cherished placed, visited by all. This mausoleum was rebuilt in the early 1950s. A flight of stone steps reaches to the tomb under a tiled cupola resembling a dervish’s hat. The tombstone is beautifully inscribed with two of Hafez’s poems or Ghazals. Visitors to the tomb can still, as they have done for centuries, take the omens, or faals, by picking a page at random from a volume of Hafez, kept for this purpose.

As a foreigner with an Iranian partner, I had heard many things about Hafez and his poetry (and poetry in general) being central to Iranian culture. It was a pleasure and a privilege to be able to attend Hafezie and find out more about his poetry and poems. It helped to have my partner’s family with me to talk through their own experiences as a family with Hafez’s poems.
Seems like there is usually lots of people visiting. Lots to see - not just his tomb, but also little stores, and a public library. Worth a stop by!

You cannot enter the main building of Eram Garden and you can only enjoy the outside view of it which is of course very beautiful and artistic. I guess they have not repaired inside structure or it is in a bad shape. There are variety of different trees in the garden with name tags.

This garden is a must see one whenever you travel to Shiraz. The best place for sure is Farvardin and spring time when all those amazing trees and plants are green. Although the main building is closed to public but even looking at one side of this amazing Persian style building is fabulous. After visiting this garden, you can walk through the Main Street and at the end of Sarvenz alley, you can enjoy Paloode or Faloode Shirazy at “ Baba Bastany” ice cream shop which has different branches in many areas of Shiraz.

I don't know, perhaps I am spoiled now after travelling in Iran for two weeks but I was not impressed by the garden as much. I acknowledge the history and significance of the place but I did not find it visually that awesome. Locals like to hang out there which is cool to see as well as the main building, apart from that though I would say it is not worth the ride and the entrance of 1 million.

The Vakil Bazaar is a landmark from the glorious Zandieh era in Iran, and it is more than just a regular market. It is an intricate masterpiece of authentic Iranian architecture, filled with high-quality fabrics and souvenirs of Shiraz. After Karim Khan Zand chose the city of Shiraz as the capital of Persia, for two decades, much prosperity and well-being was created.
If you want to enjoy bazaar surfing and buying traditional handicrafts and great spices, Vakil bazaar is one of the best places. The eye catching architecture may also be interesting for lovers of monuments.

Vakil Bazaar used to be the heart of the commercial activity in Shiraz for locals. The place has kept its character as an old market serving the town and its residents. In recent years, most of the shops have been converted to stores which are appealing for tourists and less snd less people go there for their daily needs. Irrespective of this, the place will take your attention and you can easily spend a few hours there. The shops are somehow overpriced, especially for tourists.

Vakil Bazaar in Shiraz is one of the most famous traditional and historical markets in Iran. This market, which was built by the order of Karim Khan Zand, is now located in the center of the city and is considered one of the must-see places in Shiraz. Vakil mosque and historic bath are also located next to this market. Few people experience a trip to Shiraz in their life without visiting Vakil Bazaar
In the past, all commercial activities, buying and selling of domestic and foreign goods and exchanges were all done in the cells of this market. In fact, at that time Vakil Bazaar was like the real heart of Shiraz, where all business affairs took place. Vakil Bazaar has been registered in the national register under the number 924 of the country's historical monuments
Vakil Shiraz market is now a place to sell various Iranian and imported goods. The most prominent products that are sold there are all kinds of Iranian hand-woven and machine-woven carpets, cloth and traditional ornaments. In fact, most of the main parts of the market today are in the possession of carpet sellers and fabric sellers. Sarai Moshir is also one of the parts of the market that should not be missed; In addition to the beautiful architecture of this part of the market, you can buy all kinds of handicrafts and traditional Iranian ornaments with good quality from this part of the market
Usually, the bazaar shops start their work from 9 in the morning and in the first half of the year they operate until around 10 at night and in the seasons of the second half of the year until around 7 at night. Also, some shops may not be open on Fridays.

Due to abundance of sour orange trees it is called Narenjestan. Narenjestan building has been a place where ordinary people went for administrative purposes and public meetings as well as meetings among Qajar dignitaries and nobles were held there. The building has been rehabilitated once by Ebrahim Qavam and has been decorated with mirrors, paintings, tilework, plaster work, and inlay. It is an architectural feat of Qajar period.

I can’t rate a place like this less than 5 . 😏
The Ali Ibn Hamza Mausoleum, constructed in the 1800s, holds the tomb of Amir Ali and is a top attraction in Shiraz. The shrine boasts exquisite design and adornment, featuring an impressive dome visible from its lovely courtyard garden. Visitors will experience a warm welcome with English-speaking locals offering tea. The interior is stunning during both day and night, especially at sunset for photography opportunities.
This has to be one of the most beautiful man made places my eyes have ever seen. From the outside, the Persian tile work is gorgeous but not that different from most places in Iran. The true glory of this site lies within. Once you walk in you’ll probably stop dead in your track from amazement. The entire interior of this shrine is laden with intricate mirror work in ornate geometric patterns. It’s simply outstandingly beautiful and you could easily sit down and stare off into the splendor of it all for quite sometime. Just be aware that this is a shrine and a place of worship so make your way inside with respect and don’t whip out your camera and start a photo shot with disregard to where you are. People are more than happy to let you inside even if you’re not Muslim but just take care and be respectful so everyone is happy.

A very charming experience. This is one of the monuments in Iran decorated with mirrors and lighting but what really set it apart was the bunch of imams who decided to have a chat with us. It ended up in an extremely friendly and interesting discussion and we even got offered some rosewater and dates (during Ramadan).
No issues with taking pictures & filming inside, no trouble with sporting an uncovered tattoo sleeve.
Vakil Mosque, a Zandieh-period masterpiece of Iranian art, is composed of 48 elegant pillars and boasts intricate tilework. The entrance is adorned with an imposing pearl-shaped arch, while the basement houses a marble pulpit.
The north side of Vakil mosque behind the entrance hall has a very large and magnificent arch known as the Pearl Arch. Its span is 12 meters and the height is 20 meters. On the two left and right piers of the house pearl vault is been tiled, adorned with floral and shrub drawings, leaves and other designs. At the bottom of the arches of this vault there are sentences written in the Naskh handwriting. On each side of this vault, four smaller arches form the narrow porch. The porch is 5 meters wide and its piers are covered with colored tiles that have the names of flowers and shrubs and God's names. Above the pearl arch there are two beautifully tiled Minaret.

The Vakil Mosque stands as a testament to both artistic mastery and religious devotion. Step through the grand gateway, bathed in sunlight reflecting off vibrant tilework in intricate floral patterns. Inside, the vast prayer hall awes with its towering columns, each carved with unique spirals. Gaze upwards at the mesmerizing ceiling, a kaleidoscope of colors depicting scenes from nature and scripture. Sunlight streams through stained glass windows, casting vibrant hues on the polished marble floor. The central courtyard, a tranquil oasis, provides a moment of peace amidst the intricate designs. From the elegant minarets piercing the sky to the exquisite mihrab adorned with calligraphy, every detail whispers of the beauty and dedication that went into its creation. The Vakil Mosque is more than just a place of worship; it's a masterpiece of art, offering an unforgettable experience for every visitor.

The mosque is near the Vakil Bazaar in Shiraz, and it is one of the most beautiful places in Shiraz. There is an extraordinary visual effect to this mosque due to the symmetry in its section. The cool space inside the courtyards is another interesting feature. Here are some photos I took here. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

A good mosque, but not as photogenic as other mosques in Shiraz
The monolithic stone columns inside the mosque are quite remarkable and are worth seeing. The mosque itself is beautiful and would be an attraction for many cities. However, in Shiraz, there are more photogenic and older mosques, so only visit this one if you have time.

Abdul Rehman — Google review
Although, from outside it looks simple but believe me, that's not a case if you enter in it. Vakil Mosque is beautiful indeed which dates back to 275 years ago. It's courtyrad is big. The 48 carved marble columns are the main feature of this mosque. Colorful detailed mosaic work on walls & ceiling is amazing for those who have an interest in the rich architectural heritage around the world.
Unfortunately, there is a enterance fee for tourists which is a stupid act. Religious monuments/Buildings, Shrines/Tombs of Religious personalities & poets are not meant for earning money. So, I always get disturb on such stupid steps of governments in any country. There must be a free enterance!!!
This popular tourist attraction is dedicated to the 13th-century Persian poet Saadi, and features a beautiful mausoleum surrounded by formal gardens. While Iranians regard the tomb as very special and atmospheric, tourists found it lackluster and unremarkable. The building itself is not particularly noteworthy either.
This place is at the end of Bostan street. Saadi is one of the great Persian poet and literature.
One amazing thing about the building of the tomb is architecture. It ihas a cubic shape from outside but from the inside, it is in the form of an octangle with walls of marble. You can see his poet on the wall.
This tomb is in the middle of a beautiful garden, you can walk and enjoy the music which plays there.

Lovely memorial site and tomb of one of Persia's greatest poets, Saadi Shirazi.
Native to Shiraz and had never been anywhere in his life, it's amazing how his poets and verses are still being used by many people across the world.
The outer building of the tomb is new, with the inner walls decorated with his creations. Nice garden around it to just stroll around as well.

The tomb of the poet Saadi
A famous Persian poet, Saadi, is buried here. Plenty of Iranians come to pay their respects to a beloved poet and there are verses of his work inscribed on his tomb. Without knowing the poet, tourists may get less out of this than others, but it is still wonderful to see how much the Iranians treasure their spectacular literary heritage.

Just need first visit to love this place...
It is the tomb
Hossein — Google review
At first it may look like a random garden with a monument in the middle but if you read a little beforehand and know where are you going to , that makes a big difference. A tomb of a world traveler and poet and philosopher and suffi master that his quotes and thoughts are still being used and actually one of the main resources of Farsi literature in term of proverbs or metaphors etc .
If you like to have a good view you can hike from the hill nearby or grab some ice cream and carrot juice from the shops in front as they're famous for that .

Brilliant experience to see the tomb of the great humanist writer and poet. The location is very special, there are beautiful gardens surrounding the pavilion, and it's a wonderful place to be at the end of the day as the sunlight wanes and the birds return to the trees, telling each other about their days. Very memorable experience.

The Zinat-almolk historical house in Shiraz truly comes to life in the month of Ordibehesht. During this time, the lush trees surrounding the house are at their freshest, and the air is filled with the delightful fragrance of "Bashar naraj," creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. While this period can be a bit crowded due to the ideal weather and blossoming nature, it's still a must-visit.
This place offers a captivating blend of history, nature, and relaxation, making it a must-visit destination during the springtime.
Highly recommended to see it in the morning, however, you can rest in a cafe in this place and have ice cream in the afternoon.

The Vakil Historical Bath is a public bathhouse in Shiraz that was built during the 18th century. The bathhouse features wax figures that depict people who would have used the space. The bathroom is located near the lawyers market and can be visited free of charge.
What a beautiful bath house! Used to open for the public, now it turns into a museum where you'll find plenty of wax figures depicting the many activities that people used to do. From smoking hookah, pulling out teeth by dentists, cutting hair by barbers, and even blood cupping. Very insightful.

This historical bath has an advanced, principled and beautiful architecture, which is considered a masterpiece from the Zandiyeh era. For the interior and decoration of Vakil Shiraz bathroom, lime is used instead of plaster because lime has a high resistance to moisture. On the walls of this bathroom, there are paintings and drawings of ancient Iranian culture and civilization. These valuable and eye-catching decorations, which are considered the art of the masters of the Zendiyeh era, are images in the form of mythological, epic, religious, cultural, customs, etc. themes.
Also, other topics such as stories from the Qur'an (ascension of the Prophet, sacrifice of Hazrat Ishmael, throwing of Hazrat Yusuf into the well), Persian stories (Bijan and Manijeh, Shirin and Farhad) and Islamic designs (flowers, bushes, etc.) on the walls of the Shiraz lawyer's bathroom. They are pictured.
The floor of this bathroom is paved and a path has been installed for water to pass and to heat the bathroom constantly. Somehow, the architects of Zandiyeh built a floor heating around 400 years ago to heat the bathroom. Also, the single columns with prominent decorations of Hammam Vakil show the artistic peak of Iranian architects.

This museum tells the story of a historical bath that dates back more than 250 years. The entrance begins with the bathroom and continues with the greenhouse, hot water storage, and Hanabandan sections. There are speakers throughout the bathroom that mimic the sounds of a bathroom. To enjoy these sounds as well, it is best to visit when the bathroom is not crowded. In the Hanabandan section, you can also hear beautiful songs. Entrance to this collection costs 4 thousand Tomans per person. The bathroom also has a section for taking pictures of old clothes that you can use for a fee. A small shop sells wood products as well. Below are images of this collection. Feel free to contact me if you need more help.

Hamam Vakil is the most famous public bath in Shiraz which is one of the Karim Khan Zand era monuments. It was built by Karim Khan’s order in the Shah Square neighborhood, next to theVakil Mosque.
The bath’s infrastructure is about 8660 square meters, 120 meters long and 80 meters wide, and was built in 1773. The large bath has the most advanced principles of Zand's architecture. One of the interesting parts in this public bath is a special place named " Shahneshin", literally meaning “king’s seat” and as its name suggests, it was a special place for the Kings.
The other sections of of the ancient bath include a cloakroom, a warm home and Khazine (a place to keep water warm). The cloakroom is a colored octagon room with eight columns, keeps the ceiling dome of the bath. Some murals of lime berry portrait images that symbolize Prophets Mohammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (PBUH) and his famous sward Zolfaqar. Some paintings on the ceiling depict Shirin and Farhad’s visit, as well as Bijan and Manijeh’s visit.

Khan Madrassa (School) is one of the lesser known architectural gems in the heart of the historical centre of Shiraz. The place has a unique architecture with very delicately patterned tilework. On its days of prime, it served as the main centre of religious knowledge in the city.
Unfortunately, at the moment, the place is in a state of disarray. There is renovation going on, but it seems like there is no proper management as things related to the renovation work are all scattered in the court yard. Furthermore, one chamber of the Madrassa is turned into a wood making workshop, which seemed to be being operated privately. The tourism bureau could take a very good advantage of the place but that is not happening at the moment.

Shiraz Quran Gate The most beautiful entrance to Shiraz, which was built during the reign of Az-Dawla Dailami between Baba Koohi and Chehel Magham mountains at the exit of Shiraz to Isfahan, and a Quran was placed in it to bless the travelers who pass under it. During the Zandi period, Karim Khan Zand rebuilt it and added a room above it and placed two large Qurans in it. These Qurans, known as the Seventeen I Qurans, have now been transferred from the Quran Gate to the Persian Museum. This building was registered in the list of national monuments in 1375. This historical monument is located next to the tomb and park of Khajavi Kermani and Tavousieh Square, and on the opposite side of it, a park has been created at the foot of the mountain, making the whole place a suitable place for recreation and leisure. The Quran Gate dominates the whole city and is close to beautiful places such as Hafeziyeh, Jahan Nama Garden and the Haft Tanan Museum, which can also be visited on foot.

This is why this gate is known as the gate of the Quran
