Khan E Lari House Tourism

The Khan E Lari House, also known as Khane-ye Lariha, is a historical house located in the ancient city of Yazd, Iran. This traditional house is a prime example of Persian residential architecture in the desert region. It showcases the ingenuity of adapting to the harsh climate while preserving privacy and beauty. The house dates back to the Qajar era and is now a museum open to the public. It features intricately decorated rooms, stunning stained-glass windows, and the iconic wind towers (badgirs) that are characteristic of Yazd's architectural style. These wind towers function as an ancient form of air conditioning, channeling cool air into the building. The house is built around a central courtyard with a beautiful garden, embodying the Persian principle of 'inner beauty'. The preservation of this house provides a glimpse into the lifestyle of affluent families and the rich history of the region several centuries ago.
