This initiative plays a crucial role in protecting the cultural identity of Shiraz and highlights the importance of safeguarding Iran’s historical landmarks.

On Wednesday, during the ceremony for presenting these ownership documents in Shiraz, Mohsen Ziaei, the caretaker of the Fars Cultural Heritage Department, underscored the importance of officially registering these historical residences. He noted, “These monuments are located in the historical texture of Shiraz, particularly in the Sang Siah District,” as reported by ISNA.

The collaborative efforts between the Fars Cultural Heritage Department, the Civil Registration Organization, and various other relevant institutions have successfully led to the issuance of ownership documents for these valuable properties.

Some of the notable houses that have received registration include:
