Quran Gate‌

The Quran Gate is defined by a central arched portal flanked by two smaller side entrances, built of stone and decorated with intricate tilework featuring verses from the Quran. Situated at the northeastern entrance of Shiraz, it sits in the Allahu Akbar gorge between the Baba Kouhi and Chehel Maqam mountains. Its name comes from the practice of placing copies of the holy book in a chamber above the arch, intended to bless travelers and ensure their safety as they departed the city.
