Delgosha — "Heart-Pleasing" — is one of the oldest gardens in Shiraz, with origins stretching back to the Sassanian period. It was reshaped under the Safavids and again under the Qajars, and now contains a 19th-century pavilion at the centre of a long reflecting pool, surrounded by sour-orange trees, cypresses, and old plane trees.
It sits in the northeast of the city, near the Tomb of Saadi and a short walk from the spring of Saadi at Cheshmeh-ye Saadi. The garden is quieter than Bagh-e Eram and gives a better sense of what a working Persian garden was meant to feel like: an enclosed paradise of shade, scent, and running water, used for picnics and conversation, not just contemplation.
