Ganj Ali Khan Mint House (Zarrab Khaneh)

Kerman

This edifice is located on the northern side of the rectangular complex of structures erected in 1631 by Ganj Ali Khan, Governor of Kerman.

With its domed central hall, four entrance arches, tile works and stucco decorations, it is quite impressive and represents the distinguished style of Safavid era.

This building was turned into Mint and coin Museum in 1991.
