Delgosha Garden is one of the historical gardens in Shiraz, Iran near Tomb of Sa’di and it belongs to the pre-Islamic era of the Sassanian Empire.
In Safavid dynasty, Delgosha Garden was one of the most famous gardens in Shiraz. Some of the buildings in this garden were constructed in Qajar dynasty. Most of the trees in this 7.5 hectare garden are citrus such as Orange and sour orange. The main building which has three stories with two entrances in two sides and a porch in the middle floor with a view of pool is a sign of glorious days. The Sa’di’s Tomb Canal is passing through this garden.
Delgosha Garden was at the peak of prosperity during the reign of Timur Gurkhani, so much so that it is said that after seeing it, Timur built a garden of the same name in Samarkand. This garden was also very famous in the Safavid period, so that in the writings and paintings left by European tourists at that time, the name of the garden is often mentioned.
Between Nader Shah period and Zandieh dynasty, this garden suffered a lot of damage and was rebuilt during the reign of Karim Khan Zand. In this garden, buildings related to the Qajar period can be seen.
