This garden, which is located near Tajrish Square, is dedicated to the Cinema Museum is one of the hangouts of artists and art lovers with its facilities such as cinema halls, cafes and a pleasant environment.

Ferdows Garden has an area of 20,000 square meters and the area of the mansion is 1,000 square meters, which includes three and a half floors with a width of 26 meters and a length of approximately 34 meters.

The story goes that after the death of Mohammad Shah, Nasser al-Din Shah, who also bought the land around the garden and added it to it, gave it to his daughter as a wedding gift. The groom was a friend of Mohammad Khan Moayer al-Malik, the son of Dost Ali Khan Nizam al-Dawlah.

He, who was a prominent architect at the time, also completed the architecture of the southern building of the garden and held a wedding ceremony in the same garden.After his death, the garden was destroyed due to insufficient care. Until a Shirazi merchant named Haji Mirza Hussein bought the garden of Ferdows from Dost Ali Khan and repaired it.

Of course, in recent years, these plastering have been well restored by skilled architects due to wear and tear. The most famous of these plastering are the flowers and foliage of the vines, which are made in a combination of Greek, Roman and Persian styles.
