Ali Qapu (Persian: عالی‌ قاپو) Ala Qapu was a palace complex in Tabriz which was initially built in the 16th century, during the Safavid era. The palace was entirely reconstructed in the 19th century, during the Qajar era, when a Qajar- style neoclassical building, named Shams-ol-Emareh, was constructed with its four stories, crowned by a pediment and a dome. In the 1940s, following a period of neglect, the palace was demolished during the Pahlavi era. It was a tall pavilion-type building located in central Tabriz, near today's Martyrs’ Square. After its destruction, the large area it had occupied was used for the construction of the East Azerbaijan Governor's Office, alongside the Tabriz Municipality building and the Central National Bank's branch complex.
