From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Constitution House of Isfahan, also known as Khaneh Mashroutiyat or Khaneh Haj Aqha Nourrollah Najafi Esfahani, is an edifice located next to the Great Naqsh-e Jahan Square, on Neshat Ave in Isfahan, Iran.[1]

History

Safa Khaneh was built by Haj Aqa Nouroollah and his older brother.[citation needed]

Muslims and Christians came here to talk about their religions with each other making it one of the first interfaith centers in the world. Later a magazine published based on these dialogues was released in Iran, India and London. Later it became an Islamic hospital delivering care without charge.[citation needed] It then became a qeraat khane, (place for reading) where the staff read newspaper aloud for visitors.[citation needed] About 100 years ago it became an Islamic company that produced clothing.[citation needed]
