This world has proximity to the world of Barzakh in the viewpoints of Muslims as the layers of the spiritual unconscious. Therefore, it’s borne results in the ideology of philosopher’s line Mulla Sadra in the Safavid era. Since architecture has always been a language for the values of its time, especially the unconscious of the society, to find out how and if the world of Mesal is manifes‌ted in the Safavid architecture, this writing is s‌tudying this case in the architecture of this era.
