👍👍 It is one of the iconic historic buildings in shiraz. It has been restored recently. It is a two story building from the seventeenth century era. There is a very nice garden in the middle with several chambers around it. It has lots of interesting parts from an architectural point of view. I visited...

    It is one of the iconic historic buildings in shiraz. It has been restored recently. It is a two story building from the seventeenth century era. There is a very nice garden in the middle with several chambers around it. It has lots of interesting parts from an architectural point of view. I visited this place with some of my students. They enjoyed taking pictures, especially from the second storey in front of the main window.

    This place was really beautiful and its garden was so peaceful full of trees and flowers. This place was a school during 200 years and is now a religious school called Howze Elmie. They're rebuilding its ruined places but not quite making it as it was. But still is good. Definitely a place I would visit again in my Shiraz trip. Remember it needs ticket and maybe crowded during religious ceremonies.

    Khan School or Madrese Khan which is located near Nasir Al Molk Mosque and Naranjestan, is dates back to Safavied era and it was built by the order of Allah Verdi Khan, the governer of Shiraz and his son, Emam Gholi Khan. This school has 92 rooms and it is the same as dormitory for religiose students.There are 4 gardens for students free time.

    It's a religious school and lately opened to the tourists. There is a carpentry inside the school which change the old windows with the new ones. It worth to visit. The afternoon of Thursday is a good time to visit because all the students left and it's calm

    A very unique building from the Safavid period. Unfortunately without proper care.

    Amazing Iranian architecture. It is necessary to visit this place with a professional tour guide. It is highly recommended to Architecture and art student to visit this building. It is a religious school in this place. So dont be surprised if you see so many religious person here. And also dont trust on the working days and hours. Some days they close this building due to some events. So if you want to dont miss this building, visit there in your first day of staying in Shiraz

    Dating back to the Qajar period, it is near the Vakil Bazaar and Jame’ Mosque. The same belongs to the Karim Khan Zand period. The construction of building was begun by haji Mohammad Hossein Khan and finally in 1862, the construction was completed by Aqa Baba Khan Hossein.

    This school has a beautiful entrance and inside there are many different rooms, all of which were used as classrooms in the past. Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit the school's second floor, but its interior is still beautiful.

    The ticket to visit the second floor was twice as much as the regular ticket but the view well worths it (late april)
