Haj Raees Mansion

The Haj Raees Mansion is one of the outstanding works of Qajar-era architecture and stands in the city of Bushehr. It is located on Shanbedi Customs Street (Gomrok Shanbedi), next to the neighborhood mosque, at No. 6. It was built on top of a low hill, six meters from the sea. Its owner, Haj Abdolrasoul Talebi, was a prominent merchant known as the "Raees al-Tojjar" (Chief of Merchants) and one of the leading economic and social figures of the Qajar period. He played an important role in founding the National Bank of Iran, and for this reason became known as "Haj Raees".

This historic mansion consists of nine separate courtyards, each of which had its own purpose, including residential, administrative and commercial spaces. The buildings were designed with one, two and three storeys, and because of their closeness to the sea, they were directly linked to seafaring and trade. The materials used to build it include coral stone and gypsum plaster, which shows the influence of the architecture of the southern Persian Gulf on its design.

After restoration and renovation, the Haj Raees Mansion has become one of Bushehr's major tourist attractions. By visiting this place, visitors can enjoy its unique architecture and rich history. The mansion also houses spaces such as a café and a traditional restaurant, which offer a pleasant experience of Bushehri culture and hospitality.
