Architects of Iran

An Iranian architect is traditionally called a mi'mar (Persian: معمار, romanized: me'mâr; plural معماران me'mâran).

There is little, if any, record of the numerous masters of architecture that built some of the early Islamic and pre-Islamic world's wonders of Iran.

It is unknown who built the palaces of Bishapur, Firuzabad, Persepolis, Susa, or the many other spectacular ancient edifices of Greater Iran.

Only the ruins of what they built give us a faint indication of what masters must have walked the face of this earth eons ago.

For a full comprehensive list of Iranian architects from antiquity up to the modern age, refer to:
