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] Some floors were destroyed because of ruining historic view(visual conflict) from Naghshe Jahan Square. It was first built in 1996 by demolishing historic caravansarai "Tahdid" (an Iranian Registered National Heritage).[2] Early it was meant to be 50 meters height, but it was reduced by 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]
Two floors were destroyed from the top. in 1384(2006).[5]
