The Ali Qapu Palace was built by Shah Abbas during the 18th century as the capital building for the Safavid dynasty. This palace, which is positioned on the west side of the Imam square, was an important structure for the ruling class during the 18th century, serving as residential quarters where many important rulers were entertained. The Ali Qupu Palace was originally built to be seen as a noble supreme entrance or gateway into the complexes of the great Safavid government. Today the Palace maintains much of its exterior beauty, however, the palace is little used and remains barren inside having been striped of its many murals and statues from the Safavid dynasty.
