Qazvini House, Historical museum and office building in District 3, Isfahan, Iran.
The Qazvini House is a museum and office building in Isfahan comprising two sections that were once part of a wealthy family's residence. The structure combines rooms, courtyards, and design elements that demonstrate how people lived in this region during earlier periods.
The building began as a private residence and later transformed into a religious institution when a noted astronomer adapted it for spiritual purposes. This change reflects how such houses evolved to serve different functions across generations.
The house displays traditional rooms arranged with Persian carpets and serves as an active office for Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization. Visitors can observe how the spaces were designed for daily use and understand the building's ongoing role in the city's cultural life.
The location offers good access to various sections of the house, allowing you to explore both the eastern and western parts at your own pace. Plan time to see both main areas and the courtyards that connect them.
The house features specially designed inner and outer courtyards with reflective water pools created for summer use. These design details reveal how residents managed extreme heat during the warmest months.
