Akbarieh Garden, Persian garden in Birjand, Iran

The garden extends over 217 meters in length and 90 meters in width, featuring water channels, decorative pools, and traditional Iranian landscaping patterns.

Built in 1780 during the Zand period, the garden served as the residence and administrative center for local rulers until the late 1970s.

The garden maintains the classical Persian quadripartite design with intersecting water channels dividing the space into four sections representing paradise on earth.

The garden includes an archaeological museum, anthropological exhibits, and a wildlife collection displaying regional bird species from South Khorasan province.

The garden incorporates Russian architectural influences into traditional Iranian design elements, resulting in structures with pyramid domes and honeycomb decorations.
