Pordeli Historical House in Birjand

 Pordeli Historical House in Birjand

Birjand Pordeli House is one of the historical attractions of Birjand city in South Khorasan province. This Qajar house was registered in 1997 with the number 1882 as one of the national monuments of Iran. Pordeli House is a central courtyard with two rooms around it and is a clear example of introverted architectural style.

This means that the interior spaces of the building have the least visual connection with the urban space outside. Introverted architecture was formed to emphasize personal life and privacy, security and climate change, and was mostly used in hot and dry climates. Because introverted houses do not let outside heat inside the house. The materials used in Pordeli Birjand house are brick, gypsum and lime. The construction of this building is also inspired by Azeri architectural style. The columns of the courtyard, which are built from the roof of the porch up to the floor of the courtyard, represent this style. The columns are made of clay and are very beautiful and thick. Due to these columns, three beautiful arches have been created in the porch. Between these arches, there are two inscriptions with this meaning:" there is no power and no strength save in God." On the upper floor of the building there are rooms with latticed windows. These rooms are decorated with graffiti on the walls of famous people and writers of Birjand, which indicates that this building was once used as a museum of celebrities. Brick high reliefs of the entrance, decorative niches, various flower and plant plastering, etc. are among the decorations of Pordeli Birjand house. To see this beautiful attraction of South Khorasan province, you can join Persian trips tourism group.
