Located in Shiraz, Iran, this historic Persian garden was built during the mid-13th Century by the paramount chief of the Qashqai tribes of Pars. Following the Chahar Bagh style, the original layout of the garden was most likely laid in the 11th Century by another tribe. The garden and the building belonged to the leaders of the Qashqai tribe before being confiscated by the government. Today, the Eram Garden and the building are within the Shiraz Botanical Garden of the Shiraz University.
Mohammad Qoli Khan ordered the construction of the original mansion that stood on the grounds in the early 18th century, and planted various trees and plants in the garden including pine, orange, cypress and persimmon trees. Later on, during the rule of King Nasser ed-din of the Qajar Dynasty (1785-1925) Mirza Hassan Ali Khan Nasir-al Mulk bought the gardens from the Qashgai tribes and began construction on the present pavilion that now stands in the gardens.
