Jardim Shazdeh, Irão.

Mais um Domingo e uma Resolução para mais uma semana. Uma viagem até a um país já visitado, mas com muitos lugares ainda por conhecer e descobrir. Para regressar.
باغ شازده‎‎
Bagh-e Shazdeh

Este jardim revela-nos o engenho e a beleza da cultura persa. Segundo consta a palavra "Paraíso" terá origem nesta civilização:
PERSIAN GARDENS "I've always loved the fact that via "Paradise" - itself a Persian word -  the garden was one of man's first manifestations of creating a 'heaven' on 'earth.' Beautiful gardens in Iran - with water, always playing a spiritual role."

"Shazdeh Garden meaning Prince’s Garden (in Farsi: Bagh-e Shazdeh) is a historical Persian garden located 6km away from the city of Mahan in Kerman province, Iran. It is a rectangular green oasis surrounded by brown desert and a good example of Persians gardens that take advantage of suitable natural climate."

"It was built originally for Mohammad Hasan Khan Qajar Sardari Iravani ca. 1850 and was extended ca. 1870 by the governor of Kerman, Abdolhamid Mirza Naserodoleh, during the eleven years of his governorship in the Qajar dynasty. Its location was selected strategically as it was placed on the way between the Bam Citadel and Kerman."

"The construction was left unfinished, due to the death of Abdolhamid Mirza in the early 1890s. It is rumored that upon hearing the news of the Governor’s death, the masons immediately abandoned their work and as a result the main entrance still shows some unfinished areas."
