Abstract

Built on the northeast fringes of Shiraz, Darvazeh Qor'an (literally the gate of Holy Koran) was not only a gate to the city, but also included symbolic meanings related to religious beliefs. It retained its symbolic function even after the walls of Shiraz were demolished towards the end of Qajar dynasty. Recently the narrow road to Shiraz was widened and the gate now stands eccentrically alongside the road as a common landmark. This article tries to throw light on one of the most important principles in creation of Persian Islamic architecture, i.e. the spiritual symbolism .It is emphasized that this phenomenological dimension should never be compromised in developments that emphasize only the tangible physical dimension.
