The Qeysariyeh Gate is a historic seventeenth-century Safavid structure that served as the main entrance to the Grand Bazaar of Isfahan. Built from brick, tile, and mortar, the gate originally rose three stories, with the uppermost level housing a naqqarekhane (a traditional drum house). The third floor has since been destroyed, leaving the two-story structure that stands today. As a designated Iranian National Heritage site, the gate exemplifies the architectural traditions of Isfahan's Safavid period and remains an integral feature of the bazaar's entrance.
