Memories of a visit to Iran:

Heart My Backpack
"Everywhere I went people were eager to talk to me, show me around, and help me navigate their country with ease. The amazing hospitality of Iranian people along with an impressive offering of historic sites, beautiful landscapes, and delicious food makes Iran one of tourism’s most undervalued gems."

Pirouz-Abad -City
Fars Province

English
The Palace of Ardashir Pāpakan (in Persian:دژ اردشير پاپکان Dezh-e Ardashir Pāpakān), also known as the Atash-kadeh آتشکده, is a castle located on the slopes of the mountain on which Dezh Dokhtar is situated on. Built in AD 224 by King Ardashir I of the Sassanian Empire, it is located two kilometers (1.2 miles) north of the ancient city of Gor, i.e. the old city of Piruz-Apad in Pars, in ancientPersia (Iran).
The structure contains three domes, among other features, making it slightly larger and more magnificent than its predecessor, the nearby castle of Dezh Dokhtar. However, it seems that the compound was designed to display the royalty image of Ardashir I, rather than being a fortified structure for defense purposes. That is why perhaps it would be best to refer to the structure as a "palace" rather than a "castle", even though it has huge walls on the perimeters (twice as thick as Ghal'eh Dokhtar), and is a contained structure. From the architectural design, it seems the palace was more of a place of social gathering where guests would be introduced to the imperial throne.

What is particularly interesting about this palace is that its architectural design does not exactly fall into that of the Parthians or even Sassanian category; the design is a unique design particular to architects of Fars.

The palace was built next to a picturesque pond that was fed by a natural spring, perhaps in connection with the Persian goddess of water and growth, Anahita. The spring is thought to have fed a royal garden, in the same way that Cyrus had his garden (bustan) built at Pasargadae. The pond was tiled on its sides, surrounded by pavement for guests of the royal court to enjoy the evenings by.

The structure is 104 m (340 ft) by 55 m (180 ft). The iwan is 18 m (60 ft) high, although it has partially collapsed. The structure was built of local rocks and mortar with plasterwork on the insides. The style of the interior design is comparable to that of Tachar palace at Persepolis.

Qavam House :
(Shiraz-House)

English:
Qavam House (also widely called "Narenjestan e Ghavam") is a traditional and historical house in Shiraz, Iran. It is at walking distance from the Khan Madrassa. It was built between 1879 and 1886 by Mirza Ibrahim Khan. The Qavam family were merchants originally from Qazvin. But they soon became active in the government during the Zand dynasty, followed by the Qajar, and Pahlavi dynasty as well.
The Qavam "Naranjestan" preserves the elegance and refinement enjoyed by the upper-class families during the 19th century. The paintings on the low ceilings of the house are inspired by Victorian era Europe.
The mirrored porch was a focal point of the house, overlooking a small garden that was designed with fountains, date palms, and flowering plants.

Detusch:
Der Bagh-e Narandschestan ist die kleinste Gartenanlage in Schiras. Wie der persische Name verrät, handelt es sich um einen Orangengarten. Im Garten befindet sich der Narandschestan-e Ghavam-Pavillon.
Die Geschichte des Orangengartens geht auf die Regierungszeit des Kadscharenkönigs Nāser ad-Dīn Schāh zurück. Der Bau wurde im Jahr 1878 auf Befehl von Ali Mohammad Khan-e Ghavam und seinem Sohn, Mohammad Reza Khan Ghavam, begonnen und 1888 vollendet.

La Maison Qavam ou Narenjestan e Ghavam est une résidence historique et traditionnelle persane située à Chiraz en Iran, près de la médersa du Khan. Elle fut érigée entre 1879 et 1886 par Mirza Ibrahim Khan. La famille Qavam était constituée de marchands originaires de Qazvin, ils devinrent influents sous la Dynastie Zand qui régna de 1750 à 1794.
Cette résidence reflète l'élégance et le raffinement communs à la haute société persane durant le XIXe siècle. Les tableaux et les plafonds du Narenjestan sont directement inspirés de l' architecture victorienne.
Le porche aux miroirs est une des principales pièces de la maison, elle possède une point de vue sur le patit jardin, composé de fontaines, de palmiers et de fleurs.
Pendant la seconde ère Pahlavi, la résidence fit office de siège pour l'Institut de l'Asie, dirigé par Arthur Upham Pope et Richard Nelson Frye, dont la famille du dernier vécut au sein de l'édifice.
Aujourd'hui, la résidence est un musée ouvert au public.
