Shiraz, the city of love and beauties, hosts many historical and natural attractions. One of the historical monuments that truly double the awes of this city is the Quran Gate in Shiraz. This gate is among the oldest gates available in Iran which its first foundation was built during Buyid Dynasty. The gate was built and a holy Quran was placed on its top because it is believed among Muslim that passing from under the holy book of Quarn while you are heading to a trip will make your trip safe. During Zandiyeh Dynasty, the Quran Gate in Shiraz was renovated and a room was built on the top to keep two valuable books of Quran which were handwritten. The current situation of this beautiful historical monument is an arched underpass having two columns with the same figures on each side. It is decorated with Quranic verses in different calligraphy styles.
