Chaharbagh School
مدرسه چهارباغ
A religious school built at the end of the Safavid dynasty, whose blue dome and tiled courtyard rival those of the Imam Mosque, yet it is quieter with fewer visitors.
Chaharbagh School, also known as the Madraseh Madar-e Shah (Mother of the Shah's School), was built between 1704 and 1714 by Sultan Hoseyn, the last Safavid king, and stands on the east side of Chaharbagh Avenue. Its courtyard has water channels and tall plane trees, with two-story student dormitories around the perimeter and a turquoise dome and minaret on the south side. It is still a functioning seminary, and visiting hours are limited. Visitors generally need a ticket and must observe dress requirements, so check opening times on site.
