Lonely Planet review for Khan-e Abbasian
Famous for its ground-breaking design, the Khan-e Abbasian is a bewildering complex of six buildings spread over several levels. Unusually, the numerous courtyards are designed to enhance the sense of space by becoming larger as they step up, culminating in an open courtyard on top. The high porticos and reception halls are decorated as extravagantly as you’d expect, with the usual plaster reliefs, fine mirror work and exceptionally beautiful and detailed stained-glass windows.
