Wikipedia: Iranian architecture or Persian architecture is the architecture of Iran that has a continuous history from at least 5000 BCE to the present, with characteristic examples distributed over a vast area from Syria to North India and the borders of China, from the Caucasus to Zanzibar. Persian buildings vary from peasant huts to tea houses, and garden pavilions to "some of the most majestic structures the world has ever seen". Iranian architecture displays great variety, both structural and aesthetic, developing gradually and coherently out of prior traditions and experience.
