The Isfahani style ( Persian سبک اصفهانی, DMG sabk-e eṣfahānī , 'the Isfahan style', IPA : sæbk ɛ ɛsfɑhɑni ) is the last traditional Iranian architectural style. It shaped two periods of time: First, it is associated with the Safavid era, where it achieved its greatest distribution and importance. The style was taken up again from the beginning of the Afsharid period to the end of the era of Mohammed Shah . During the Qajar era, it lost its importance in Iran due to European architectural influences .
In the Safavid era, the Isfahani style extended to India, where it was known as Mughal architecture .
