Shapouri
Mansion
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
gardens
in
Shiraz
and
a
sight-seeing
place
in
Fars
province.
This
mansion
belongs
to
the
first
Pahlavi
period
and
it
can
be
seen
a
combination
of
Iranian
and
European
architecture.
In
this
collection,
the
natural
effects
of
the
garden
and
the
beautiful
architecture
of
the
building
together
have
created
a
unique
perspective.
Shapuri
Mansion
is
located
on
Karim
Khan
Zand
St.,
Anuri
St.,
Ahli
Intersection.
You
can
use
public
transport
or
private
car
to
reach
this
place.
The
nearest
metro
station
to
Shapouri
Mansion
is
Zandiyeh
station,
where
you
can
get
to
the
destination
by
walking
a
short
distance
from
Tawheed
and
Anuri
streets.
If
you
plan
to
use
the
bus,
take
the
Valiasr
Terminal-Namazi
Terminal
services
and
get
off
at
Chaharrah
Zand
station.
From
this
station,
with
a
short
walk,
you
will
reach
Shapuri
Mansion
through
Anuri
Street.
This
mansion
was
built
from
1310
to
1315
under
the
supervision
of
the
famous
architect,
Abul
Qasim
Enghansi,
and
belonged
to
Abdulsaheb
Shapouri,
one
of
the
biggest
merchants
of
Shiraz.
Until
the
early
1970s,
the
Shapuri
family
lived
in
this
mansion
garden;
But
a
few
years
after
the
beginning
of
this
decade,
the
house
became
abandoned.
Shapuri
mansion
has
two
floors
and
its
base
is
840
square
meters
and
its
main
land
area
is
4635
square
meters.
It
was
built
in
the
style
of
Qajar
architecture
and
is
in
the
list
of
the
first
buildings
that
were
designed
and
built
with
a
free
architectural
approach.
The
main
access
to
the
building
is
not
on
the
main
axis,
and
to
enter
it,
you
have
to
turn
90
degrees
in
the
north
facade.
The
paths
of
the
garden
also
follow
a
completely
symmetrical
pattern;
But
the
trees
are
not
planted
in
the
same
way.
Also,
adding
a
balcony
was
an
unconventional
tradition
in
Iranian
architecture;
But
a
balcony
has
been
used
in
this
building.
The
plan
and
outline
of
this
mansion
was
very
special
and
unique
in
its
period.
For
example,
a
staircase
was
used
in
this
building,
which
was
not
seen
in
any
of
the
buildings
of
that
time.
In
addition,
there
are
many
rooms
inside
the
mansion,
each
of
which
has
a
special
function.
The
innovations
used
in
the
garden
of
the
Shapouri
mansion
have
turned
it
into
a
European
Iranian
garden.
Shapouri
Mansion
is
open
from
8
am
to
11
pm.
To
enter
this
complex,
you
have
to
pay
two
thousand
tomans,
which
is
equivalent
to
five
thousand
tomans
for
foreign
tourists.
Of
course,
if
you
intend
to
use
the
menu
of
a
coffee
shop
or
restaurant,
there
is
no
need
to
pay
this
amount.
You
can
use
public
transport
or
private
car
to
reach
this
place.
