Persian Gardens

Talk about paradise and we’ll refer to the Persian Gardens. During the 1970s, the Persian garden was excavated by David Stronach, who assessed that there was a private entry point shielded by Pasargadae’s palaces. Inside, one would find orchards, channels, pavilions, terraces, pools, and a walkway. In the center of the garden, there was a pool that led off into four separate directions leading the water to spill into various channels.
