Pars Museum

The octagonal building was the place in which royal guests were hosted by the Zand dynasty of Iran.

During the Zand era (1750–1794) Karim Khan built an octagon structure which was called Kolah Farangi.

The brick designs, tiling, pictures and big stone dadoes are among the architectural features of the building.

Among the paintings is the well-known Karim Khan's Smoking Shisha created by Jafar Naqash.
