Akbarieh Garden — The garden was not inscribed as a standalone UNESCO site but as part of the Persian Gardens serial property (WHS 1372), and the entry implies it is a separate site.
Akbarieh Garden — The claim that the garden functioned as the Qohestan Government House until 1978 is unverified and likely incorrect; the specific date is not supported by widely-known historical records.
Alamut Castle — The entry states that Alamut Castle was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2026, but as of 2025 this has not occurred and no such inscription has been announced.
Alamut Castle — The entry claims that the name 'Alamut' likely means 'Eagle's Teaching' or 'Nest of Punishment', but 'Nest of Punishment' is not a standard or historically supported translation.
Ali Qapu — The entry says the palace's name combines Arabic 'Ālī' (imperial) and Turkic 'Qāpū' (gate), but 'Ālī' means 'lofty' or 'sublime' (not 'imperial') and is Arabic-derived, while 'Qāpū' is Persian from Turkic; the name means 'Lofty Gate' or 'Sublime Porte', not 'i
Ali Qapu — The entry says the largest rooms are on the sixth floor, but historically the main reception halls and the Music Hall are on the fifth floor (the top floor), not the sixth; the sixth floor is often a roof terrace or small upper level.
Avroman — The claim that the Bil spring feeds the shortest river in the world with a total length of 15 meters is not supported by authoritative sources, which list the D River or Tamborasi River as shortest.
Avroman — The proposed etymology of 'Avroman' from an Avestan word 'Howr' meaning 'sun' is inaccurate; the correct Avestan word for sun is 'hvar' or 'huuarə', not 'Howr'.
Band-e Kaisar — The entry states the dam-bridge was Iran's 10th World Heritage Site in 2009, but it was actually the 11th.
Band-e Kaisar — The entry says the arched roadway carried an important road linking Pasargadae to Ctesiphon, but historically that road did not pass through Shushtar.
Bazaar of Arak — The entry states the bazaar's earliest structures were ordered by Sepahdar Aazm, but historical records show the bazaar's earliest structures date to the early 19th century under Fath-Ali Shah, not to Sepahdar Aazm's time.
Bazaar of Arak — The entry claims the bazaar's north–south and east–west paths end at four ancient city gates, but the city gates of Sultan Abad were built in the 19th century and are not ancient.
Bazaar of Tabriz — The claim that the restoration project won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2013 is incorrect; the award was given in 2016.
Bishapur — The claim that Bishapur was built on the ruins of an earlier city called 'Din-Della' destroyed by Alexander the Great is not supported by established historical or archaeological evidence.
Bishapur — The claim that the architect was named 'Apasa from Harran' is not attested in reliable historical sources.
