Delgosha Garden

Delgosha Garden Park is one of the oldest and most outstanding historical gardens in Shiraz, Fars Province. It lies in the northeast of the city, along Boostan Boulevard and close to the Tomb of Saadi. With a long history going back to the Sasanian era, this beautiful garden is one of the few examples of the Persian garden that clearly shows the link between history, culture and nature. Its location on the slopes of Fahandej Mountain, next to the urban fabric of Shiraz, has made it a popular destination for domestic and international visitors. The garden covers an estimated 7.5 hectares and, over the centuries, has gone through various changes and restorations across several historical periods, from the Sasanian to the Safavid, Zand and Qajar eras.

One of the most distinctive features of Delgosha Garden is the three-story historical mansion at its center, built in a blend of Sasanian, Zand and Qajar architectural styles. Known as one of the first and most beautiful kolah-farangi (European-style pavilion) mansions in Persian gardens, it has stucco decoration, mirror work and traditional paintings, and in the past it played an important role in hosting guests and ceremonial celebrations. Water from the Saadi qanat flows through different parts of the garden, and the complex is surrounded by fruit trees such as bitter orange and other citrus trees, cypresses and ornamental trees, so that in spring the fragrance of orange blossoms fills the air of the garden.

To visit Delgosha Garden, Shiraz's city routes will lead you to Boostan Boulevard, where the garden's entrance is located, and it is easy to reach by private car or public transport. The best time to visit is spring and early summer, when the garden looks stunning with its orange blossoms and green trees, although autumn offers a different experience with its warm colors. When visiting, respecting the historical remains, keeping the site clean and staying on the designated paths are principles of responsible nature tourism, so that this natural cultural heritage endures for future generations.
