Characteristics of buildings
The middle mansion is the central core of this garden. This building was built during the Qajar era, imitating the Zandiyeh style of architecture. In terms of architecture, painting, tiling and plastering, this mansion is one of the architectural masterpieces of the Qajar period. This mansion consists of three floors with many decorations. The rooms on the lower floor, which are almost underground, are a place to relax on hot summer days. The decorations of these rooms are colored tiles. The upper two floors have columns inspired by Persepolis.
In the front of the building, there are two semi-circles on both sides, and a large panel in the middle, which consists of 3 crescents on top of each other. This panel shows images of Ferdowsi's Shahnameh and the battle of Qajar kings.
This building belonged to Khanin Qashqai for more than seventy years, which was confiscated during the Pahlavi period.
