Jahan Nama Garden

باغ جهان‌نما

An old garden beside Hafez's tomb, with cross-shaped water channels and a central octagonal pavilion, a classic example of the Persian gardens listed as a World Heritage Site.

The history of Jahan Nama Garden goes back to the 13th century, though its present layout dates from the Zand period. It follows the chahar bagh form, divided by cross-shaped water channels, with an octagonal pavilion at the centre and tall cypresses and rose beds along the paths. The garden is small and rarely crowded, and in spring, when the flowers bloom, it is especially peaceful. It lies a few minutes' walk east of Hafez's tomb and can be visited on the way.
