Chaar Taagh, literally “four arches”, is an equilateral architectural unit. Consisting of four arches or short Barrel vaults between four corner piers. With a dome on squinches over the central square. This square and the four bays under the arches or barrel vaults together constitute a room of cruciform ground plan. Chaar Taagh is the most prominent element in traditional Iranian architecture. Some consider it the second after Eyvan. Siamak D. Ahi
