Khan School
مدرسه خان
A 17th-century Safavid-era madrasa with a finely tiled stalactite-vaulted gateway and a quiet courtyard with a pool.
Khan School was founded in 1615 by Imam-Quli Khan, governor of Fars, and the renowned philosopher Mulla Sadra once taught here. The tall gateway is decorated with muqarnas (stalactite vaulting) and coloured tiles. The inner courtyard is surrounded by two-storey student dormitory arcades, with a pool and trees at its centre. It still operates as a religious school, and opening hours are limited; you often need to knock or pay a small fee to enter. It lies southeast of Vakil Bazaar.
