Aali Qapu Palace in Royal (Naghsh-e Jahan) Square of Isfahan is one of the most beautiful examples of Safavid architecture. The most important parts of this Palace are the entrance, halls, music hall on the top floor and prominent artworks in different parts of the Ali Qapo mansion. The main foundations of this mansion are built of wood, and this adds to the architectural appeal of the magnificent Ali Qapo Palace.
This building was made during the Shah Abbas Safavi era, to host the meetings that Shah held with the high-ranking guests and foreign ambassadors. From the porch of Aali Qapo palace, the Safavid king sat to watch polo taking place in Naghsh-e Jahan Square. Today one has to go to the south after entering the square, but in the Safavid era, the Ali Qapu served as the Grand Gate to the square.
