Naranjestan-e Qavam House

Naranjestan-e Qavam is one of the most beautiful historical buildings in IRAN. It's located in the heart  of Shiraz. This historical building, which is also used as a museum, attracts many visitors each year with its unique architecture and beautiful garden. The name "Naranjestan" comes from the many orange trees in the garden of this mansion. The garden is filled with the sweet scent of orange blossoms during blooming season..Naranjestan Qavam was built during the Qajar era under the orders of Ali Mohammad Khan Qavam. This building, which was initially the residence of the governor of Shiraz, was donated to Shiraz University many years later and is now open to the public as a museum.

The main building of the garden, located on the north side, has two floors and a basement. Its architecture is a blend of Zand and Qajar styles.The grand hall, with its beautiful decorations, is considered the finest twocolumned porch from the Qajar era in the whole of Shiraz.The two columns of the porch are made of a single piece of marble and stand in the middle. The porch ceiling features a large painted medallion surrounded by six oval scenes depicting beautiful images such as flowers, plants, animals, and hunting scenes. The ceiling, walls, and main hall are decorated with mirrors. There is a hall and a room on each side of the porch..And there are four rooms upstairs.The best time to visit the Qavam Garden is in the spring. The garden's enchanting beauty reaches its peak during this season, as the fragrant scent of orange blossoms offers an unparalleled experience.
