Delgosha Garden; A Piece of Heaven in Shiraz

Situated in the extreme southeast of Shiraz and very close to the mausoleum of Sa'di, Delgosha garden is one of the historical gardens which belongs to the pre-Islamic era of the Sassanian Empire. The protagonists of Delgosha garden are the beautiful flowers, the sour orange trees and, above all, the water which runs through this charming piece of heaven. A three-story old mansion of the Qajar period, with beautiful ceramic tiles, mirror work and oil paintings, is found in the center. It has two entrances on the sides and a porch in the middle floor. On Fridays the garden is full of people that come to eat under the shade of the sour orange trees; while, the chess players are playing on the tables scattered among flowerbeds, hedges and trees and take advantage of the holiday time to entertain themselves. 

Take a tour with Uppersia team to spend a lovely spring evening in this marvelous garden and drink a cup of tea under its fragrant sour orange trees.

More pleasant than the sound of love's speech, naught I heard;

Needless to say, Persian literature is a key component of rich history and ancient culture of Iran. Omer Khayyam, Sa’adi, Mowlavi, Ferdowsi, and Hafez (also spelled Hafiz)are among the influential figures of Persian’ poetry. Hafez, as one of the greatest composers of lyric poetry, is a well-known poet for all of Iranians and many bards in the whole world. Serious attempts to introduce the Persian poet to the West took place in Germany by Goethe, a devotee of Hafez. You can walk the streets of Shiraz and feel the atmosphere which delighted Hafez’s mind as an inspiration for creating such spiritual and moral poetry. Many people believe in his miraculous verses to such an extent that they have a deep connection with these eloquent poems. To them the poetry of Hafez is a form of meditation on divine perfection. Serious attempts to introduce the Persian poet to the West took place in Germany by Goethe, a devotee of Hafez. Every year on 11^th October, a commemoration is held to venerate Hafez as the honored personage of Persian poetry.
