Constructed in the late Qajar era by Haj Agha Ali, also known as Zaeim-Allah Rafsanjani, a prosperous 19th-century merchant, Haj Agha Ali House reflects the wealth and social prominence of its owner. Trading goods across Iran and beyond with countries like China and India, Haj Agha Ali’s thriving business enabled him to construct this extraordinary estate among several others.
