Forough Al-Molk's historical house in Iran

A house that we are to introduce you among the historical houses of Iran is the house of Forough Al-Molk. This beautiful and historic house is also known as the Meshkin-fam Museum. This historical monument was built in 1310 by the son-in-law of the famous Ghavam, namely Mr. Forough Al-Molk Ghavami.

The land allocated for the construction of this house has an area of 1020 square meters.

When Forough Al-Molk started to build this house, he intended to build a building with a residential use, and he never thought that his house, which was once the only place where he could take refuge from all the world in, has now become a museum. This is true that this old house in Iran was not a luxury boutique hotel in Iran, but in many ways, it helped a lot of people. This historic building has a guardhouse, kitchen, royal residence, interior, exterior, pool house, bathroom and many other parts.

Forough Al-Molk's house has 3 floors and an underground floor. In the northern and southern parts of this mansion, there are also two rooms with five doors.

The royal residence of the building is connected to the inside of the house by an octagonal house pond.

There are Zandiyeh-style designs on the roofs of this house. This historical house residence in Iran was nationally registered in 1998 and was among the historical houses of Shiraz.

Forough Al-Molk's house is used to show and display the works of the Meshkin-fam family in 3 generations, as well as the works of other artists from Fars province.

In this museum house in Iran, some of the works that have been exhibited have been given to this collection by different owners.

At present, this monument has different parts that make it a perfect museum of contemporary art for any viewer. For example, we can point to a library or store in Forough Al-Molk's house that will provide you with anything you want in terms of work and expertise of architecture.

Ziaian's house

 Another house in the Shiraz is the Ziaian old House in Iran, which, like many other houses, dates back to the Qajar era. This historical house was nationally registered in 1978.

The interesting thing about Ziaian's house is that this house, in addition to being very old, was the residence of one of the most famous Shirazian families named Ziaians, and therefore it has become very famous.

In this traditional guesthouse in Iran, there is no news of special and different decorations, nor any news of different plastering, but for example, the simple but very beautiful tiling of this building itself carries a single body, perhaps all the beauty of this collection is about its tiling. This luxury traditional house in Iran is now open as a museum. The same special and beautiful tiles have made the Ziaian House in Shiraz is known as the Shiraz Art design. Currently, in this art gallery, which we have introduced to you under the name of Ziaian House, various traditional art workshops are held.
