Tomb of Hafez

Fars · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

Hafez’s verses are the key to this visit: they cover his tombstone and continue to circulate in Persian speech and daily culture. The garden gives that enduring relationship a physical setting, with orange trees and a copper dome supported by eight columns. Look at the inscribed stone, then step back to see how the canopy gathers the space around it. Reading a few lines or simply watching the garden’s evening life can be equally revealing. Hafezieh makes Shiraz’s literary identity tangible through a memorial that remains close to its readers.
