One of the oldest Gardens in Shiraz Very dreamy and lovely. Delgosha Garden is one of the historical and famous gardens of Shiraz, located in the Fars province of Iran. With its traditional Persian architecture, lush greenery, and abundant orange and citrus trees, it has long been recognized as a cultural heritage site and a popular tourist attraction

Architecture, Layout, and Structure

:Delgosha Garden includes several distinctive features that make it a classic example of a traditional Persian garden

The garden is rectangular in shape, approximately 360 × 160 meters in size — covering 5.7 to 7.5 hectares

Water is supplied by the Gazarān Qanat, flowing through canals and streams that lead to a large pool beside the central mansion

The garden contains around 3,000 bitter-orange (Seville orange) trees, which in spring fill the air with the famous scent of bahar-e naranj (orange blossom)

In addition to orange trees, the garden includes cypress, pine, palm, and other ornamental plants, creating a diverse and shaded landscape

Central Mansion (Kolāh-Farangi Pavilion)

At the heart of the garden stands a three-story mansion known as the Kolāh-Farangi (Pleasure Pavilion). It represents a mix of Persian and European architectural influence

The mansion contains a main hall, four royal chambers (shāh-neshin), and a large balcony supported by two columns overlooking the garden’s main pool

Decorations include stucco work, mirrorwork, paintings, and poetic inscriptions in Nastaʿliq calligraphy, featuring verses by the Shirazi poet Shurideh Shirazi

In the past, the building served as the residence of the garden’s owners; today, part of it functions as a small museum

Visitor Experience: Nature, Scents, and Peaceful Ambience

One of the most delightful features of Delgosha is the fragrance of orange blossoms during spring — especially in April and early May — which creates an unforgettable atmosphere

The stone-paved pathways, clear water streams, fountains, and tall, shady trees work together to create a very calm and pleasant environment

The central mansion, with its elegant architecture, is an ideal spot for strolling, photography, relaxation, and reflection

Delgosha Garden is a perfect destination for walking, enjoying nature, experiencing heritage, and appreciating traditional Persian landscaping
