The Jahan-Nama Tower (Translit World view tower Persian:برج جهان نما) is a building built by Municipality of Isfahan in Imam Hosein Square, Isfahan.[1] Two of its top floors were demolished as they ruined the historic views (visual conflict) from Naqsh-e Jahan Square. It was first built in 1996 by demolishing the historic Tahdid caravansarai (an Iranian Registered National Heritage).[2] Initially, it was meant to be 50 meters high, but that was reduced by a UNESCO intervention.[3] Iranian President Mohammad Khatami wrote a letter to minister of cultural heritage and tourism .
I have spoken with UNESCO chief, UNESCO will end the case if only this tower is reduced.[4]
In 2006, two of its top floors were demolished.[5]
