Old Bushehr

Bushehr · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

Bushehr’s historic quarter occupies the northern tip of a triangular peninsula and encompasses the Dehdashti, Shenbadi, Kuti and Behbahani neighbourhoods. Multi-storey houses, central courtyards, wooden doors and windows, and shanashir balconies designed to channel the breeze form a distinctive architecture adapted to the Persian Gulf climate. Walking these lanes recalls an era when Bushehr was one of Iran’s principal maritime gateways.
