Persian gardens
Persian gardens are traditional gardens that originated in ancient Persia, now modern-day Iran. They are designed to create a paradise on earth, often featuring a symmetrical layout with pathways, water channels, and a variety of plants. The gardens typically include elements like fountains and pools, symbolizing the importance of water in arid regions.
These gardens are often divided into four sections, representing the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. The design reflects the Islamic concept of paradise, emphasizing tranquility and beauty. Famous examples include the Shazdeh Garden and the Fin Garden, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Persian landscape architecture.
