erman province with its rich and ancient civiliza-
tion and climate has four seasons and a treas-
ures of natural, historical and cultural heritage
and attractions that can rightly be called a miniature of
Iran’s tourism. The presence of seven world heritage
monuments, three national heritage monuments and
thousands of natural and historical attractions have
made the Kerman province one of the most important
tourist destinations of the country for domestic and for-
eign tourists. Kerman province’s cultural heritage, hand-
icrafts, and tourism have many capacities, each of which
is a precious and precious work that has been passed
down through generations and generations and should
strive to preserve it. The most beautiful places to visit in
Kerman are: Arge Bam, Shazdeh Garden, Rayen Cas-
tle, Shah Nematollah Vali Shrine, Ganjali Khan Com-
plex, Jabalieh, Plays Park, Golshan Inn, Amusement
Park, Shahid Rashidi Park, Ostandari Park, Harandi
Musuem Garden, Ebrahim khan Zahirodoleh School,
Ebrahim Khan Zahirodoleh Complex, Carting Piste, Kid
Playground, Bam playground, Zarand playground, and
the Health Center Park.■ Cultural HeritageThere are numerous historical and cultural sites and
tourist destinations, monuments and cultural and natural
attractions throughout Kerman province, some of which
have a global
and national
r e p u t a t i o n .
The registra-
t i o n
of “Ganjali Khan Historical Collection, Arg-e Bam (the
largest adobe building in the world), Shazdeh Mahan
Garden, Historical Village of Meymand, Lut Desert, and
Goharriz Qanat of Joopar in Mahan, Qasem Abad and
Akbar Abad Bam World Heritage List has provided this
prestigious site with a unique status. The cultural
heritage of Kerman has flourished in recent years
with the participation of the private sector in the
aftermath of the recession and valuable
monuments such as the Citadel of Bam,
the Fath Abad Garden, the Kerman
Lawyer’s Caravansary and the Haj
Agha Ali Kerman House have
been repaired.■ Arge BamArg-e Bam was the largest
adobe building in the world
located near Bam, a city in
Kerman Province southeast of
Iran.On December 26, 2003, a
devastating earthquake struck
Bam City and its suburbs. Con-
sequently, Arg-e Bam was entirely
demolished. “Bam and its Cultural
Landscape” has been registered in
the list of UNESCO World
Heritage. This enormous citadel, located along the Silk
Road, was constructed in century 5 BC and was still
in use until 1850 AD. It is not exactly clear why it was
not used anymore thereafter. The whole monument is
a huge fortress in the center of which the citadel (Arg)
is located. However, due to the glorious appear-
ance of the Arg which is also the highest part of
the complex, the entire fortress building is known
as “Arg-e Bam”.■ Shazdeh Garden
The Shazdeh Garden is a historical
Persian garden located on the out-
skirts of Mahan in Kerman prov-
ince, and was constructed under
the orders of the governor of
Kerman, Abdolhamid Mirza
Naserodoleh, during the late
Qajar period. Built in the tra-
ditional style in the late 1900s,
the Garden consists of pools
in a terraced fashion.The con-
struction was left unfinished, due to the death of Abdol-
hamid Mirza in the early 1890s. It is rumored that upon
hearing the news of the Governor’s death, the masons
immediately abandoned their work and as a result the
main entrance still shows some unfinished areas. Its lo-
cation was selected strategically as it was placed on the
way between the Bam Citadel and Kerman. The Garden
is approximately 407 meters long and 122 meters wide
in a rectangular shape with a wall around it and sur-
rounded by desert land. It consists of an entrance struc-
ture and gate at the lower end and a two-floor seasonal
residential structure at the upper end. ■ Goharriz Qanat of Joopar in MahanAlthough human being is always trying to improve and
each generation is enjoying more advance technology
than the previous one, the genius of our ancestors in
some fields were considerably more improved than
what we are witnessing today. One of the examples
for this saying is the famous Persian Qanat which was
registered by UNESCO as the world heritage site. The
complex includes 11 Qanats in different cities of Iran.
Goharriz Qanat of Joopar in Mahan, Kerman is one of
these wonders. The Qanat is as long as 3500 meters
and waters about 300 hectares on its way.
It is interesting to mention that Goharriz Qanat of Joopar
in Mahan provides its water from a fault and the
water current moves on the scale of 60 litters per
second. Some famous adventurers have visited
this Qanat and suggest others to visit it too in their
travel stories and memos; so make sure not to
miss it when you travel to Iran.
he historical Googed
Stronghold is located in
Isfahan, close to the city
Golpayegan. This stronghold has
a history older than four hundred
years. It was one of the most im-
portant structures positioned along
the main pathways of caravans.
There is also a document related
to this building that shows half of
Googed Stronghold was dedicat-
ed by Ali Khan to his wife a dowry,
following which it was also called
Ali Khani Stronghold. This strong-
hold, that has towers on its sides,
was used during both peaceful
times and the times when the en-
emy attacked. As a result of its
double usage, the stronghold
includes military fortress
as well as a safe caravan-
serai with rooms for rich and
well-known merchants. The
structure of Googed Stronghold
consists of a yard in the form of a
square and four towers that have
been located symmetrically in its
four sides. The towers are about
twelve meters tall and were used
for guarding and protection pur-
poses. The social classes of the
time can be vividly realized in the
structure of the stronghold. The
merchants and famous people in-
habited the levels at the top, while
the servants and the cattle lived
in the lower levels of the building.
The alcove was located on the top
of the entrance gateway. There
had been a water pool in the mid-
dle of the alcove. In case that the
enemy attacked and set the gate-
way in fire, the guards would pour
the water from the pool to put it out.
The structure of Googed Strong-
hold was designed so that the
attack of the enemy and danger
could be realized by the pigeons
and birds living there. The birds
and pigeons, which were usually
calm and peaceful, would sense
the attack and become disturbed.
So the guards would understand
danger was close by seeing their
behavior. Water and food storage
is another preparation for the days
of war and siege that was thought
of in the design of Googed Strong-
hold. There is a water-well in the
southeast side that could be used
when no other source of water
was available. Googed Strong-
hold, which was ruined for a while,
has been restored and turned into
a hotel and residence. In addition
to its nineteen rooms, the tourists
can now visit the teahouse, res-
taurant and big yard of Googed
Stronghold.
Susa MuseumA Gem Located in Southwestern Iran
he Archaeological Museum of Susa is located in the
ancient city of Susa in Khuzestan province, south-
western Iran, which is inscribed on the UNESCO
World Heritage List. The small museum displays ancient
stones and pottery excavated from archaeological sites in
the region. At this charming museum you will find many
objects not only from Susa itself, but also from towns in the
neighborhood, the province of Khuzestan.
There are six main rooms, where you will find architectural
remains from the palace of Darius, ceramics, weapons,
sculpture from Masjed Soleiman (home of Iran’s first com-
mercial oil well) and funerary masks from Haft Tepe. When
Susa was excavated in the late nineteenth century, the ar-
chaeologists agreed that all gold and silver would remain in
Asia, while finds of stone and other less precious materials
could be brought to France. This is why the most famous
objects from Susa are now in the Louvre. Other objects,
like the splendid Egyptian-style statue of
Darius that was excavated in the
1970s, were brought to
the Archaeologi-
cal Museum
of Tehran.
