Persian Calligraphy (خوشنویسی ایرانی) is one of the most revered arts throughout Persian history. The history of calligraphy in Iran dates back to the pre-Islamic era when Zoroastrian-influenced Persian culture held beautiful writings in high esteem. Its popularity skyrocketed following the arrival of Islam. It is an essential part of Iranian arts and deeply rooted in Persian culture and aesthetics.
