Iran-Shahzadeh Mahan Historical Garden
Iranian tourists and ecotourism activists visit the Shahzadeh Mahan Historical Garden near Kerman, Iran, on May 22, 2025. The Shahzadeh Mahan Historical Garden, located near Kerman in southeastern Iran, is a striking example of Persian garden design from the Qajar era. Built in the late 19th century, it features a central mansion, cascading fountains, and lush greenery set against a desert backdrop. This UNESCO-listed garden reflects the harmony between architecture and nature, offering insight into Iran's rich cultural and aesthetic traditions. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
