Damage to Chehel Sotoun Palace worsens as shockwave impact persists

The historic Chehel Sotoun Palace continues to deteriorate weeks after nearby US-Israeli airstrikes, with decorative elements still collapsing and structural concerns growing.

Amir Karamzadeh, director-general of cultural heritage for Isfahan province, said the damage has worsened compared to assessments made a month ago. "Some of the damage is progressive," he told IRNA, noting the impact is more serious than initially estimated.

Experts warn that restoring visible decorations without addressing structural weaknesses could lead to repeated collapse.

Emergency funding has been allocated. Teams of specialists in wooden ornamentation, metal structures, and mirrorwork have been deployed to stabilize the palace.

Chehel Sotoun is a 17th-century Safavid pavilion and part of the UNESCO-listed "Persian Garden" ensemble.

At least 28 historical monuments in Isfahan province have been damaged in the recent attacks.
