The Constitution House of Tabriz stands in the historic Rasteh Kucheh district, close to the Grand Bazaar of Tabriz, and is regarded as one of the city's most important historical and cultural sites. Built in the Qajar architectural style in 1247 (Solar Hijri) by Haj Mehdi Kuzekanani, a well-known Tabriz merchant, the house became a venue for the secret meetings of the Constitutionalists after Mohammad Ali Shah Qajar bombarded the Parliament. Prominent figures such as Sattar Khan, Bagher Khan and Seqat-ol-Eslam Tabrizi gathered here. In 1354 (Solar Hijri) the house was registered as number 1171 on Iran's National Heritage List, and in 1375 it was turned into the Constitution Museum.

The Tabriz Constitution Museum covers an area of 1,300 square metres and is laid out on two floors, with distinctive architectural features. These include coloured sash windows (orosi), carved wooden doors, plaster columns, and a courtyard with a pool and attractive flower beds. Inside the museum, visitors can see a collection of historical documents, handguns, personal belongings of the leaders of the Constitutional Revolution, and statues of prominent figures of the era. These exhibits not only recount the history of Iran's Constitutional Revolution but also show the role Tabriz played in advancing this historic movement.

The Constitution House of Tabriz welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 19:30 in the first half of the year and from 9:00 to 17:30 in the second half. The museum is closed on Mondays and on days of mourning. To reach it, you can travel to the Rasteh Kucheh district by public transport or private car. A visit to this historic house is a pleasant and educational experience, especially in spring and summer.
