Isfahani style (Iranian architecture)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "Esfahani style", or Isfahani style (شیوه معماری اصفهانی), is a style (sabk) of architecture when categorizing Iranian architecture development in history. Landmarks of this style span through the Safavid, Afsharid, Zand, and Qajarid dynasties starting from the 16th century onward.[1]
The Isfahani style is the last style of traditional Persian—Iranian architecture.[2]
The Safavid dynasty were chiefly instrumental in the emergence of this style of architecture, which soon spread to India in what became known as Mughal architecture.
