History
The origins of the garden may go back to the 12th century, during the Seljuk period, when a garden later called Bagh-e Shah probably existed on this site up to the 18th century.[1][2] This may have influenced the overall layout to the present day.[1]
The current gardens were planted in the 19th century and its pavilions were built at this time.[2] The garden was established in 1824[3][4] by Muhammad Qoli Khan Ilkhani, the chief of the Qashqa'i tribe.[3][1] At this time, it included a three-story residential pavilion with a front porch supported by two columns.[3] The estate was later sold to Nasir al-Molk,[3] who commissioned the architect Muhammad Hasan (the same architect who worked on the Nasir al-Molk Mosque) to rebuild the pavilion in its current form between 1875 and 1897.[3][5]
Today, Eram Garden is part of the Shiraz Botanical Garden[2] of Shiraz University. It is open to the public as a historic landscape garden. They are a World Heritage Site and protected by Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization.
