Constitution House of Isfahan, also known as Khaneh Mashrouteh or Khaneh Haj Aqa Nourrollah, is an edifice located next to the Great Naqsh-e Jahan Square, on Neshat Ave in Isfahan, Iran.

History

Safa Khaneh was built by Haj Aqa Nouroollah and his older brother. Muslims and Christians came here to talk about their religions with each other. It was 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. It then became a qeraat khane, (place for reading) where the staff read newspaper aloud for visitors. About 100 years ago it became an Islamic company that produced clothing.
