Персидское подворье, 19th-century trading complex in Astrakhan, Russia.
The Persian Court consists of four two-story buildings connected in a square layout with internal galleries and semicircular arches along the perimeter.
Persian merchant Aji Useynov funded the construction between 1852 and 1863, replacing an earlier wooden structure at the intersection of three streets.
The architecture merges European classicism on exterior facades with Eastern design elements, reflecting the role of Astrakhan in international commerce.
The ground floor contains retail spaces, while the upper level features residential apartments, and the basement includes storage areas and former stables.
Two mezzanines above the entrances on Chernyshevsky and Soviet streets contained designated prayer rooms for Persian merchants conducting religious ceremonies.
