The Shazdeh Garden in Mahan Kerman

All cruel people must know the day that there will be no sign of palace living people, every one of the palace ceramics will be the history of those people as well.

All tourists and travelers and researchers who come and visit the sight seeing of the remainders of nature and also the visual phenomenon of some individuals who have been the creators of beauties, all over this country and meanwhile they show some interest over these assuredly by seeing these special gardens, shall come to this point that: the Shazdeh Garden is one of the most beautiful and the most interesting Rocky gardens of Iran.

This garden is amazingly nice and well organized and is located in about 3 kilometers away from Keram next to Tikran Snowy Mountains. This garden is one of Ghajar Dynasty rulers’ memorial gardens, named (Shazdeh Abdolhamid Farmanfarma), which is belonged to 1297 Hejri or 1254 solar year (about 134 years ago).

Planting trees and various plans, in this garden were brought from all over the country and were delicately planted and nurtured carefully at that time and with the facilities of those days such as the carriages and the horses etc. Needless to mention that the Farmanfarma family groups have been all from the Abdolhamid Khan the sons and the grand children through two recent dynasties of Ghajar and Pahlavi. This garden with all its beauties can remind us all difficulties and hardworking of those people, who had to accept and tolerate all hardship & harshness imposed by the cruel rulers and if they dared to protest somehow, the result were severe punishments such as imprisonment and several slashes and wiping as well!?

For the same reason, all garden keepers and architects and also labors, making rooms and interiors and some nice preferable parts of the garden, needed so much patience and long time for work. For example the Forman worker of the Kerman, named Agha Mirza Ali Gachkar when he heard about the death of the cruel ruler he hit all of the materials for painting thrown on the wall and like hostages, they  tried to escape without getting their wages … and the result of that action still is remaining on the wall.

The garden has a very nice Arch at the entrance, some beautiful buildings and many small rooms viewed to the nice sight seeing of the garden. The most amazing part of the garden is water moving around and between the garden, which with a very nice and artful engineering water moves from the center of the garden beside all trees and stairs coming into the big pool and water falls of the center before the big original building and has five waterfalls near the entrance door. This water is always cold and drinkable which comes from the Spring of Tikran Mountains, the water drops on the rocks of stair shape and from there follows the village to the place called Shorshoreh falling down, all over the year. This system of watering regarding the design is announced by many experts to be very artful and still is a mystery. In 1370 solar year, this garden was reconstructed and remodeled at the time that the Congress of the Khajouy Kerman have been redone as well.
