Baghe Eram

Eram garden is located in the center of Shiraz on the side of Eram street. This garden was made by a leader of the Qashqai tribe known as Mohammad Ali Khan Ilkhani during the early 18th century. About 75 years later, Nasirolmolk bought the garden and Haj Mohammad Hassan, the prominent architect built its three storey building. This monument is a masterpiece from the Qajar dynasty in so far as architecture, painting, carvinf, tiling and stuccowork are concerned. The lower sections of the building's exterior are formed of 2 - meter - high plain and carved stones and on the eight columns there is the exihibt of two Qajar soldiers ans six inscriptions. The inscriptions have been inscribed by Mirza Ali Naghi Khoshnevis in Nastaligh style of writing. In the portal of the building there are three large and two small sessions. The spring which flows in the waterfronts right in the middle of the building pours into ponds and grants Eram garden a great appeal. The cypress trees in this garden are quite famous.
