Isfahani style (Iranian architecture)
- Isfahani style (Iranian architecture)
The "Esfahani style" (شیوه معماری اصفهانی) is a style ("sabk") of architecture when categorizing Iranian architecture development in history. Examples of this style are Chehelsotoon, Ali Qapu, Agha Bozorg Mosque, Kashan, the Shah Mosque, and the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque.
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.
