Ganjali Khan Complex, Safavid architectural ensemble in Kerman, Iran.

Ganjali Khan Complex is a Safavid ensemble of several connected buildings in downtown Kerman. It consists of a plaza, bazaar, bathhouse, school, mosque, inn, mint house, and water reservoir.

Governor Ganjali Khan commissioned this complex between 1596 and 1631 during Safavid Shah Abbas I's reign. It represents the architectural flourishing of that era in Persia.

The former bathhouse now serves as an anthropological museum where statues show traditional Persian bathing customs and social rituals. You can see how people gathered and bathed together in those times.

The complex is centrally located in Kerman and easily accessible on foot. Around the site you will find various restaurants serving Persian dishes along with hotels and accommodations to suit different budgets.

One section displays coins from several Persian periods including Parthian, Sassanid, Safavid, and Afsharid dynasties. This collection offers a glimpse into centuries of Persian currency history in one location.
