The house where Iran’s great poetess, Forough Farrokhzad, used to live in her final years has been razed to ground and replaced with a three-story building.
This is not the first time that the houses of great artists and cultural figures are destroyed in Iran. The house of Gholam Hossein Banan, Iran’s great and popular traditional singer was destroyed in 2013 and a tall apartment building was built in its place.
