Afifabad Garden

Afifabad Garden is a garden complex with a two-story mansion at its center and several sections including a weapons museum, moral museum, traditional bathhouse, and teahouse. Water channels and symmetric paths run throughout the expansive grounds.

The garden displays classical Persian design through its symmetric paths and water features from the Qajar era. Visitors can observe the decorative elements and carefully arranged plantings that reflect Persian design principles.

The grounds are divided into several sections open to visitors, so allow adequate time to walk through everything. The various collections and rooms are spread across the landscaped areas.

The weapons museum houses one of the world's largest arms collections, featuring pieces from different periods of Persian history. This collection offers visitors a journey through various phases of military development.
