Qavam Quarter

Quiet old quarter of restored Qajar merchant houses

The Qavam quarter, just east of the central bazaar, was the residential district of one of the wealthiest Qajar merchant families in Shiraz. Today it is a small pocket of narrow lanes around the two great Qavam mansions — Naranjestan and Zinat-al-Molk — with a scattering of other restored houses, small workshops, and tea-houses.

It is less developed than Sang-e Siah but quieter, and is one of the better areas to walk in the late afternoon. Combine with visits to the two Qavam houses and the bazaar a short walk west.
