Great historical landmark, home to one of of the influential families of the later 1800s. Alot of elaborate Persian architecture with lots of engraved pillar, mirror room and antique furniture.
Beautiful garden with a large hose and plenty fruit trees.
The tallest brick tower in the World is Mil-e Gonbad which dates back to 4th century AH. The Mil and surrounding area is beautiful to visit and if you have time, don't miss it at night, too.

This place was pretty cool, but they did ask us to wear a scarf.It's a great spot to relax and take in the beauty. You can even dress up in traditional clothes for some awesome photos. Overall, a unique experience

One of the most beautiful hoses I've ever seen, you have to visit this place if you visit shiraz
Unfortunately the water wasn't flowing for this visit, but its very nice to see at night with the lights and water. Apparently built in 1600 a.d. - a nice park on the far side as well. A nice spot of history to add into your daily trip that doesn't take much time to visit.

A must to visit!!! Qavam House also known as Narenjestan-e Ghavam is a traditional and historical house and garden in Shiraz, built between 1879 and 1886. Due to abundance of sour orange trees it is called Narenjestan. Narenjestan building has been a place where ordinary people went for administrative purposes and public meetings as well as meetings among Qajar dignitaries and nobles were held there. The building has been rehabilitated once by Ebrahim Qavam and has been decorated with mirrors, paintings, tilework, plaster work, and inlay. It is an architectural feat of Qajar period. Highly recommended!!!

One of the best and magnificant bridges in Isfihan to visit, especially at night
It looks amazingly beautiful with the light effect during the night. It's a cool place to take a stroll in the night.
Qaboos Dome Tower is a historical building built by the order of Shams-ul-Maali Qaboos bin Vashamgir for a personal tomb in 375 AH and is located in Qaboos Dome, Golestan province. The architectural style of the building is Razi style. This building is considered the tallest all-brick tower in the world. The height of the building is 55 meters and it stands on a 15-meter hill. This building was registered as a world heritage site at the 36th UNESCO conference. The height of this conical dome is 18 meters, and there is an opening in the eastern body, which is 190 meters high. It is centimeters. The width of the opening is 73 at the top, 75 at the middle, and 80 at the bottom. In the southern corner, there is an entrance that is 1.5 meters wide and 5.55 meters high.
The landmark itself is mysterious and a true masterpiece
However, don't expect anything more than the building
No guidance, not much information
Also, the entrance fee is very cheap and apparently free for children
The place is accessible for people who use a wheelchair but the path is not safe at all
In fact the path to the landmark is not very safe for anyone

It is one of the gardens in Shiraz that has a unique green space and a cafe so you can escape the city for a moment. Don't forget that the passengers will start leaving after 8 pm, so you should arrive earlier. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Love this place. Its a beautiful house that was used by the royal family. Love the palm trees and 🍊 trees. If you are there make sure you go downstairs where you can find a shop selling many different breathtaking stones. There is an entrance fee of 3,000 toman for locals and 30,000 toman for foreigners.
The only historical site around there... I loved the tree day trip to Golestan province because of great nature..
