The Charming 150 year old Lari House in Yazd, Iran

Built for an aristocratic merchant family in the Qajar Era, the Lari house, also referred to as Khaneh Lari (Khan-e Lari or Khaneh Lariha), is the best in Yazd and one of the best-preserved in Iran.

Staying consistent with the architectural style of such elite mansions, the Lari House also has an introverted design.
