The Villa Ispahan, first called Villa Danichgah, was built in 1910 at 57 Boulevard du Jardin-Exotique for the Iranian diplomat Prince Mirza Riza Khan Arfa, to designs by the architect François Médecin. Its blue minarets are modelled on the Shah Mosque in Isfahan, and it is dressed in mosaics, coloured glass and the Lion and Sun; in the 1960s it was a museum of Iranian art. It now houses Indonesia's consulate in Monaco.
