Afifabad Garden

This garden is situated at a distance of about two kilometers to the west of Shiraz, south of the Qasro'd-dasht Avenue. With great taste, cypresses, plane trees, firs, pine trees, willows and junipers have been planted there, and a magnificent building, with a spacious tiled lower floor, and a stone dado with carved figures of soldiers in relief, and numerous halls and rooms and verandahs, has been erected there. This garden also was one of the achievements of the Qavam family of Shiraz. The first builder was Mirza'Ali Mohammad Khan, the second Qavamo'l-molk, who in 1284 A.H. (1867 A.D) began the construction, and bought the Limak stream, which rises in Qasr-e-Qomsheh, about 15 kilometers distant, for irrigating the garden, after which it reaches several districts of Shiraz.
