Shahzadeh Garden
The Schāhzādeh Garden (or Persian باغ شازده Bāgh-e Shāzdeh , 'Prinzengarten') is a Persian garden in the province of Kerman southeast of the city of the same name and 6 km south of the village of Māhān . The garden forms an oasis in the middle of the desert.
history
The 5.5 hectare garden was laid out around 1850 under the Qajar prince Mohammad Hasan Khan Katschar Sardari Iravani and later expanded around 1873 under Abdul Hamid Mirza and completed after his death by the governor Kermans in the 1890s. The palace pavilion in the center of the garden served as the prince's summer residence. In 1991 the property was completely renovated on the occasion of a memorial service in honor of Khaju Kermani . Today parts of the castle are used as a restaurant.
Texture of the garden
The rectangular garden is surrounded by a wall and consists of several terraces with water basins and pavilions. A central watercourse with fountains leads to the castle, whereby the natural slope of the ground is used for its operation.
