Arg of Karim Khan

This citadel was built during the Zand dinasty as the king’s living quarters. Later it was turned into the governors seat during the Qajar period and after their fall, it was converted to a prison. There’s a beautiful museum inside depicting some of the special events that took place in this fortress. As you can see throughout my pictures already, water is an inseparable element of any Persian garden and there is no better place to experience the Persian paradise then here, in Shiraz, known amongst Iranians the city of gardens.
