| Ali Ghapoo palace is a massive structure built during Shah Abbas Safavi standing high in Seven floors and 48 meters on the West side of the "Naghshe Jahan Square".The balconies are formed in ideal place from which the royal family used to watch the Polo games taking place in the Square. It was neglected for years but as you can see (scaffolding) I am pleased to see it being refurbished and preserved for the future generations. This is a shot from one of the main hall's ceiling, the ceiling is well decorated with beautiful traditional gold and blue patterns. Various shapes are cut out of the ceiling which gives it a nice acoustic, the king used to be entertained here.....rumour has it that the musicians used to play before the king arrival and the holes contained and replay the music...... |
