    Qavam house is small garden with a palace/house at the end. The house has amazing architecture in the form of uniquely painted ceilings and stained glass. There is also a small museum under the house in the basement which is full of interesting artefacts dating back to 500-1000 BC. There is also a traditional restaurant in the complex which offers good food.

    Ghavam House, or Ghavam Orange Garden, was the residence of the ruler of Shiraz during the Qajar period. This mansion was built and completed by several generations of Ghavam Pirizi family. The name "Naranjestan" also comes from the orange trees in the courtyard of this mansion. Today, this place is available as Shiraz University as Narenjestan Museum. Ghavam House was used between 1348 and 1358 solar years by the Asian Institute of Pahlavi University, under the supervision of Professor Arthur Opham Pope, a famous Iranologist

    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!!!

    The building and the architecture is super amazing . They use hundreds pieces of mirrors maybe more on the walls and the roofs. At some rooms there are beautiful painting on the roof which make this place an extraordinary place . I wish I had something like this to live on 😬 The yard , I mean the garden is very beautiful in most of times . I can’t rate a place like this less than 5 . 😏

    Narenjestan Qavam is a not very big but extremely beautiful mansion in Shiraz which anyone going there should visit. It has a garden with amazing design and when you walk in of during spring it's full of flower smell, Bahar e Narenj ' s smell. There is a museum in its basement where you can see astonishing artworks during time and also there is shop in each part when you can buy new copy art of those things. Second floor is mostly a workplace but a small part of it is open which truly worth hardship of its stairs to go up. The ceiling was full of painting.

    Narenjestan Qavam, located in Shiraz, Iran, is a breathtaking historical mansion that offers visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Persian nobility during the Qajar era. Built in the mid-19th century, this architectural marvel served as the residence of the influential Qavam family, who were prominent figures in Iranian society at the time. The mansion's name, "Narenjestan," which translates to "Orange Garden," is derived from the fragrant citrus trees that adorn its lush gardens. Stepping through the ornate entrance, visitors are greeted by a symphony of colors, with intricate stained glass windows, vibrant frescoes, and ornamental mirror work adorning the mansion's opulent interiors. The highlight of Narenjestan Qavam is its exquisite architecture, which seamlessly blends Persian and European influences. From the intricately carved wooden doors to the grand reception halls adorned with shimmering chandeliers, every corner of the mansion exudes elegance and sophistication. Visitors can explore the various rooms and courtyards, marveling at the craftsmanship of the period furnishings, delicate tilework, and elaborate stucco decorations. The mansion also houses a museum showcasing artifacts and artworks from the Qajar era, providing insight into Iran's rich cultural heritage. A visit to Narenjestan Qavam is a journey back in time, where the whispers of history echo through the halls, and the beauty of Persian artistry unfolds at every turn. Whether admiring the stunning architecture, strolling through the manicured gardens, or immersing oneself in the rich tapestry of Iranian culture, Narenjestan Qavam is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the enchanting city of Shiraz.

    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.

    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.

    An inviting Persian Paradise. The private mansion with an exquisite garden dates back to the nineteenth century. The beautiful courtyard with citrus trees. The principal building served mainly for formal and ceremonial purposes with its magnificent mirrored central portico and short corridors decorated with tilework and stucco moldings. Take your time and enjoy your visit.

    Wow! Exelent, beautiful and amazing... Ghavam Orange Garden is located in Shiraz, in the Balakoft neighborhood of this city, near Lotfali Khan Zand Street, and is one of the historical tourist destinations in Shiraz. This building belongs to the Qajar period and belonged to one of the great families of that time called Qavam-ol-Molk family and in fact it was a place for holding meetings of Qajar elders, courthouses and people's places of reference. The garden has many sights, and its unique architecture is what catches the eye at first glance, with impressive architecture and a combination of mirroring, tiling, embellished and carved elements that go back to that time. Today, it is and will be one of the masterpieces. In the design of Ghavam orange garden in Shiraz, the principle of symmetry has been used, in the sense that the porch or the hall mirror of the garden in the middle and the rooms are in a harmonious and coordinated manner on the right and left. On the walls of the porch, there are beautiful beds, which is a real example of Qajar art. Also, white and blue tiles have been sold all over the floor of the hall, adding to its beauty. Seeing all these details carefully, it will definitely take days, so we suggest you set aside a few days if you can. As for the roof of this mansion, in the side rooms of the Hall of Mirrors, the roofs are more than wood, but not simple and completely carved. But after entering the main room next to the porch, you will see a beautifully mirrored and stunning ceiling that can keep you busy for hours.

    If you're going to Shiraz, make sure you visit this place. It's one of the most beautiful old houses in Iran with amazing architecture and dazzling paintings on its roof. The garden or as Iranians say, Chahar Bagh, has a very spectacular atmosphere, especially because of the palm orchards planted in it. This place belongs to Shiraz University and therefore its students don't need to buy tickets.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful and particular construction surrounded by an equally fascinating garden. Unfortunately, I visited it during the day and I could not appreciate the fantastic play of light in the windows for which it is rightly famous. It was January, in very low season. I had the advantage that tourists, however, there were very few to say hardly anyone. Very beautiful even outside. (Original) Bellissima e particolare costruzione circondata da un altrettanto affascinante giardino. Io purtroppo l'ho visitata di giorno e non ho potuto apprezzare i fantastici giochi di luce delle vetrate per cui è giustamente famosa. Era gennaio, in bassissima stagione. Ho avuto il vantaggio che turisti comunque ce n'erano proprio pochissimi per non dire quasi nessuno.ùMolto bella anche all'esterno.
