Naranjestan Qavam Garden in Shiraz
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Naranjestan Qavam Garden is a beautiful Iranian garden in the southern city of Shiraz.
It was built during Qajar period in late 19th century. At that time, Qavam family was among the political figures of Shiraz and Qavam House was the residential place of Qavam family and the office for their administration. Since the garden has an abundance of sour orange trees, people call it Narenjestan or the orange garden as well.
The basement of the monument displays a variety of colorful glasses. It was designed and built elaborately to provide a cool atmosphere throughout the hot summer days of Shiraz. Today it has been turned into Narenjestan museum.
