The Gulshan Garden is one of the oldest gardens in Shiraz. During the Safavid dynasty, it was used as a palace by the Safavid Kings. The current main building was constructed by Mirza Ali Mohammad Khan Qavam II in 1863. He bought a nearby qanat to water his garden. After his death, the garden was eventually inherited by his niece, Afife; thus being called "Afif-Abad".

Afif Abad Garden in autumn is a mesmerizing retreat. The vibrant foliage paints a breathtaking panorama, and the rustling leaves underfoot add a symphony to your stroll. The rich hues of red, orange, and gold transform this garden into a serene haven, making it a must-visit during the fall season. Embrace the tranquility and beauty of nature at its finest here. 🍂 #AutumnSplendor #AfifAbadGarden

Excellent place I recommend to everyone visit this place

A beautiful and calm place to be with family and enjoy both garden and historic building and make enjoyable times and memorable photos.

A hidden gem!!! Try to visit close to sunset to enjoy its beautiful lights. Previously known as Golshan garden, Afif Abad garden dates back to the Safavid era when it functioned as their court. The garden mostly follows the tradition of European gardens while the edifice results from a combination of Achaemenid, Sassanid and Qajarid architectural characteristics with some European touches. Highly recommended!!!
