Gardens
During all its periods of glory and prosperity,
Shiraz was renowned for its large and pleasant
gardens. No traveler, even to this Day, can forget
the emerald green gardens of Shiraz and their cool
and shady Boneh-Gah ( an area in a garden where a
mass of trees form a dome-like structure). At the
bottom of the most of these gardens in a circular
area, where the multitude of thick, bushy maple and
plane trees join their heads together to provide a
cool, shady spot for resting. The Boneh-Gah is, in
fact, a garden within a garden.
Since a visit to Shiraz would be incomplete without
a look at the gardens, which present all the art and
skill of landscape planning, some famous examples
are listed below. You can easily locate all these
places on a tourist map of Shiraz:
Bagh-e Eram (the Garden of Paradise):
This is a large garden to the west of
the city. It dates from the time of Qajars, when Mohammad Gholi Khan
Illkhani ordered its construction;
Mohammad Hassan, the noted architect,
built the handsome two-story structure
in it. In the center of the building is
a gallery overlooking the garden and all
around are various rooms, with orris and
alcove and a beautiful hall of mirrors.
Facing the gallery is the main walk of
the garden with small ponds bordered on
both sides by fine cypress trees. The
most beautiful of all the trees in this
garden and the most famous tree of
Shiraz is a lofty cypress named Sarv-e
Naaz (the sweet cypress), which indeed,
seems a work of art.

The Khalili Garden: This is a spacious
garden overflowing with flowers.
Geraniums, sweetbriers, bougainvillea,
yellow roses, blue water lilies and
ornamental trees cover a large area of
the garden. Lofty plane trees line both
sides of the main walk, and thick, bushy
maples from a round and cool Boneh-Gah
in the north-eastern corner. Through the
graciousness of the owner, a tour of the
garden has become possible for all.

Bagh-e Delgosha (the Garden of
Hearts-ease): To the northeast of
Shiraz, near the mausoleum of Sadi, is
the large and pleasant Delgosha Garden.
Flower-beds decorate Delgosha Garden.
Flowerbeds decorate the center of the
wide main walk of the garden and a mass
of orange trees borders the two sides.
The walk leads to a residential home,
standing in the center of the garden
dating from the Zand and Qajar eras. The
building has a verandah supported by two
monolithic pillars. Its facade is
covered with glazed tiles and plaster
moldings, its doors are fine examples of
inlay work and mirrorwork, and there are
some lovely paintings on wood with
flower, shrub and bird designs.

Takieh Haft Tanan (Resting Place of the
Seven): At the foot of the mountain, to
the north of the mausoleum of Hafez,
stands a pavilion dating from the period
of Karim Khan Zand. Under the ancient
cypress and pine trees in the pleasant
garden surrounding the pavilion, lie
buried seven learned men thus
explaining the origin of the name
Resting Place of the Seven.
The pavilion, in the form of a large
hall, has two monolithic columns and two
rooms on either side. The walls of the
hall are decorated with fine pictures of
flowers, shrubs and birds; and below the
ceiling are paintings of Rostam,
Ashkabus and a lion in the process of
devouring a deer.
The tomb of Shah Shoja, the 13th
century patron of Hafez is to be seen to
the west of the building.

Golshan Garden:Being
transformed into a military museum by
the Islamic Republic of Iran Army in
1988, the Golshan Garden (also called
Afif Abad) was founded in the south of
Shiraz upon orders by Mirza Ali Mohammad
Khan Qavam in 1863. It houses a
beautiful two-story edifice following a
combination of Achaemenian and Qajar
architecture. It was used as the
ex-kings residence whenever he traveled
to Shiraz. |
