Lari House
خانه لاریها
A courtyard residence of a 19th-century merchant family, with several wind towers, carved wooden doors and stained-glass windows, a classic example of Yazdi domestic architecture.
Lari House was built in the 19th century during the Qajar dynasty for the wealthy Lari family. Its layout includes several courtyards, a pool, a basement and multiple wind towers. Carved wooden doors, stucco decoration and stained-glass windows show clearly how desert homes were designed for ventilation and cooling. The building is now used by the cultural heritage authority, and some rooms and the courtyard are open to visitors for a modest admission fee. It is in the Fahadan quarter, about a three-minute walk from Alexander's Prison.
