Summary
The Karim Khan Castle is a citadel located in the downtown Shiraz, in Shahrdari square. It was built in 1180 AH. Karim Khan invited the best architects and artists of the time and bought the best materials from other cities and abroad for the construction of the castle of Karim Khan, which was quickly constructed.During the Zand dynasty it was used by the king as living quarters. During the Qajar period it was used as the governor's seat and during the Pahlavi period it was converted into a prison and the paintings were plastered over.But this building is known as the center of this space and historical element in the Shiraz municipality square with popular stories. Throughout the years, this space has created a good urban space and a crowd of people thanks to an attractive landscape and a memorable observer. Today, due to the lack of attention to this urban space and the degradation of its landscape, we make this space less so because the presence of people in space has diminished because of the lack of conformity with the opinions of the people.
