History and culture of Rainbow Houses Of Qazvin

This neighborhood was one of the old and almost ruined districts of the city, poor and forgotten, left on its own to fade to zilch. For this reason, the mayor of Qazvin decided to paint 3200 m² houses’ walls in a row to make people see the influence of color in the cityscape. Now this poor neighborhood is one of the main attractions of the city which is almost impossible to see and not feel cheerful afterward.
