The early 16th century Ali-Qapu Palace is a 7-storey masonary structure. The canopy over the second floor was added later so that provide a more impressive gesture from the square and -may be- make it more comfortable while the king stayed there watching people in the great square (Naqsh-e-Jahan or Imam Square) in formal ceremonies. The palace and the square are listed in the World Heritage Organization monuments.

What an interesting place!! Thanks for providing the details. It makes it so much more interesting. Good comp.
Amazing that already in the 16th century they built this 7-story-high building! Thanks for the information!
A Palace indeed. Huge. I really like the covered 2 story porch/patio. It would be a great place to view the city.
