Angurestan Historical House

Reviewed By Rezgaroffroader - Kermanshah, Iran

The historic house of Malek Altojar is a grape garden and historic mansion in Isfahan. The history of this garden dates back to the time of Nadir Shah Afshar. This garden belongs to Hajj Malek, the god of the divine master of Qomishi who had migrated from Isfahan to Bahrain from Nadir Shah. During the time of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, the garden was given to the official responsible for the government of Isfahan. In the future, the son of this person, Haj Muhammad Ebrahim Khan was known as Malek Altjar to launch the construction of the country. The architect of this building is Professor Hossein Qi and the date of his letter is 1923.

Fotowat Miniaturist

Reviewed By 237alann

We were introduced by our local Iran local guide to visit this shop. We were amazed by their miniature drawings and have decided to order drawings of our 5 cats. We have limited staying time in Ishafan and the owner (and his family) was able to complete all 3 drawings within a day. After we left Isfahan, we decided to order another one for our 5th cat ((who has passed away to Rainbow Bridge already). The owner himself finished it in a day and drove to deliver it on hand while we were on the way to other city. Very good customer service and very beautiful drawings . Will recommend to all tourists to visit, and you won't regret to get at least one back home. Best Regards Steven
