Chaharbagh Madrasa, Historical madrasa in Isfahan, Iran

The Chaharbagh Madrasa measures 95 meters in length and reaches a height of 38 meters, featuring intricate tile work and diverse architectural elements.

Construction of the madrasa began in 1699 under Safavid ruler Soltan Hossein and underwent multiple development phases until its completion in 1714.

The madrasa functions as both an educational institution for Islamic studies and a center for philosophical discourse, maintaining traditional Persian scholarly traditions.

The building remains closed to general visitors throughout most of the year, with limited access granted during No Ruz celebrations.

A substantial wood-and-silver door marks the student entrance from Chahar Bagh Abbasi Street, leading to a tree-lined courtyard surrounded by two-story porches.
