Persian Gardens
Fin Garden, Kashan
It may sound like an exaggeration, but Fin garden could be a symbol of endurance.
Facing many political invasions and natural disasters, the Persian paradise proved
it’s standing strong.
Fin garden is the perfect representative of Persian gardens and similar to Narenjestan
Garden and Eram Garden in Shiraz, Dowlatabad Garden in Yazd, and Shazdeh Garden in
Kerman, it is a masterpiece combining natural and man-made elements.
Eram Garden, Shiraz
ERAM GARDEN (BAGH-E ERAM), LOCATED along the northern shore of the Khoshk River in Shiraz, is one of the most famous and beautiful Persian gardens in all of Iran. It should be noted that the word ‘Eram’ is the Persian version of the Arabic word ‘Iram’ which means heaven in Islam’s most holiest of books, the Qur’an.
Although no one is quite sure when construction of the gardens began, historical evidence suggests that the gardens were built during the Seljuk Dynasty (11th-14th centuries) under the rule of one of its most celebrated monarchs, Ahmad Sanjar. Like many other attractions in Shiraz, the Eram Gardens have been restored and repaired by the Zand kings of the Zand Dynasty (1750-1794), but during the later period of the Zand Dynasty, the garden changed hands to a Qashgai tribal chief, Mohammad Qoli Khan.
