Aminiha Hosseiniyeh
Tucked away in a walled rose garden is the well-preserved 1773 Aminiha Hosseiniyeh. It’s a private mansion that doesn’t look much from outside, but has a splendidly gaudy wood, glass and mirror interior and a refreshingly cool, brick vaulted basement. A great place to unwind and write up your diary in peace.

Ali Qapu
The much more massive Ali Qapu was originally a 16th-century gateway to the royal precinct, a kind of forbidden inner city. Today it’s a police post so don’t take photographs.
