Darvazeh Ghoran

Hello,

bellow is a brief information about Darvazeh Ghoran in Shiraz.

Darvazeh Ghoran (The Koran Gate) was originally built as an ornamental entrance to the northern sector of the town about 1,000 years ago. Karim Khan Zand placed a volume of the holy Koran in the small room built on the top of the gate so as to bless those who pass under it guarantee them a safe return to their abode. The original gate was demolished in the early fifties and a local merchant erected the present one on its site.
