History of Malabashi House
Mullah Bashi's house belongs to Safavid, Zand and Qajar times. Therefore, we see the architectural styles of all three periods in this house.

During the reign of Isfahan ruler Zal Sultan, this house along with its alley and neighborhood was bought by Malabashi and he lived in it. Later, this house was bought and renovated by a person named Motamedi, and now it is considered among the tourist attractions of Isfahan. This very beautiful and historical house was registered as a national monument in 2001.

Malabashi House is located on Malek St., Pusht Baru Alley.

Is it a reliable house or a house?

This house is also known as Motamadi. After years passed and when this house was exposed to destruction, a person named Motamedi bought it and took many measures to restore it and save it from the danger of destruction and destruction. If today this beautiful building has become a tourist attraction, it is actually the result of Motamedi's efforts and it is not without grace that this house is also known as Motamedi's house.

With the efforts and efforts of this person, this house was registered in the list of national works of Iran.

Malabashi and how she traveled to Isfahan

Mirza Ahmed Malabashi was a scholar and jurist who worked as a court astrologer during the time of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar. At that time, Malabashi was sent to a mission in Isfahan. The ruler of Isfahan at that time was one of the sons of Naser al-Din Shah named Zal al-Sultan. Since the sultan's mother-in-law was not originally from the Qajar race, they did not attribute the title of crown prince to her. This caused him to behave abnormally and abnormally, as a result of which he harassed the people of Isfahan.



One of the unusual behaviors of this ruler, for example, was the destruction of a large part of the exquisite works of the Safavid era. He didn't even have mercy on nature and rare species of animals and caused the extinction of
very rare animals such as deer and Caspian tiger with his excessive hunting.

These harsh and immoral behaviors of Zal al-Sultan caused his wife to leave her home and place of residence and live in one of the houses that was near the house of Malabashi and the house where she lived.



To punish his wife, Zal al-Sultan ordered his sons to kill their mother. For this, he even set half of his property as a reward.

This caused insecurity and unrest in the city of Isfahan, and Malabashi, who was a very reliable and calm cleric, was sent to Isfahan to calm these insecurities.

May you live in this house

As soon as Malabashi arrived in Isfahan for this mission, he bought this historic house and settled in it by the order of the government.

At that time, Malabashi's house was not very famous, but in terms of location, it was very important compared to the houses and buildings of political people of that time and in that place. So that famous houses belonging to famous people like Malek Al-Tajjar house were only a few steps away from this house.



Before Malabashi's arrival in this house, it was not very beautiful in terms of architecture, and it only had one winter house and two or five doors. But after Malabashi settled in this house, other parts were added to it, which made its appearance and value very important. At that time, a king's room and nine-door room were also added to this house, which made these two added parts of this house an interesting and valuable historical and artistic work.

Features of the Malabashi house

This beautiful and historical house is a vivid example of the house and lifestyle of the people of that time in Isfahan. Malabashi house is actually an example that can introduce you to the way of life and culture of the people of that time.

The interesting thing about this house is the presence of authentic and old Iranian carpets on the floor of the rooms, which increases its homely atmosphere.

The art of metal stamping on wood is also used in this historical building.



The house, like many houses of that time, is divided into two main parts. The part where they lived and spent their time and the part that was related to providing services.

This house has two study rooms and three separate exterior entrances. On the west side of the outer courtyard, a special room has been allocated for the owner's office and for the reception of clients.

The outer courtyard, the summer residence, the inner courtyard and the king's residence are among the spectacular parts of this house, which we will discuss in detail a little later.
