Fin garden dates to the early Safavid era, it was build during the reign of Shah Abbas I (1587-1629), and it was restored later by Qajar Fath Ali Shah. The garden is surrounded by high wall, and comprises large place with trees and shrubs. It looks like oasis in the desert. The water in fountains and pools in the garden is carried by the underground aquaduct, called "qanat". It`s beginning is around 1.5 km from the garden. All the place is crossed by small water channels and little fountains.
The plants are various, the most common you can see the high plane trees, cypresses, apple and plum trees. Except for some lovely rose bushes, I couldn`t see many flowers, because of the winter season. There is also a bath house (hammam) with original design, where are preserved some traditional figures, showing the custom.
