About
The Qazvinis' House is a historic house constructed during the reign of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar in Isfahan, Iran.
Although there are many historic houses in Isfahan, few of them are open for tourists. Qazvinis' house is one of these few houses. The house has a beautiful structure and masterly plan. It has multiple yards, which are surrounded by many rooms. The northern part of each yard is higher and is more important than the other parts. The notable exterior parts of the structure are the following:
a dais, decorated by an exquisite muqarnas
doors of the dais with painted glasses, which connect the dais to different rooms.
a reception hall on the western side, decorated by stucco and cut mirrors.
