6Bāgh-e Dolat Abad, Yazd, Iran
Bāgh-e Dolat Abad is a beautiful Persian garden located in the desert city of Yazd, Iran. Built in the 18th century, the garden was originally designed as a private retreat for Persian rulers and is known for its impressive windcatcher (badgir), which is the tallest in the world. The garden follows the traditional charbagh design, with a central water channel leading to a reflecting pool surrounded by tall cypress trees. The use of water in such a dry climate is a testament to the ingenuity of Persian garden design. The intricate architecture and peaceful setting make Bāgh-e Dolat Abad a stunning example of how Islamic gardens harmonize with their environment.
