Built around 1750, this garden, situated in Yazd, Iran, was meant to be a residence of Persian regent Karim Khan Zand. The pavilion is set amidst the Persian garden lined with evergreen trees. The pavilion boasts Iran’s tallest badger (wind tower) standing at 33 metres.
The tallest wind tower of the pavilion inside the garden is conceivable from miles away. This traditional air-conditioning system of local houses around the desert in Iran is the essential elements at the residential structures. However, the exaggerated grand size of this wind catcher functioned perfectly well. Actually the Dolat Abad garden is also renowned for having Iran’s tallest badgir (the wind tower), that is standing over 33 meters; though this one was rebuilt after it collapsed in the 1960s.
The most significant characteristics of the design of Dolat Abad Garden is believed to be the attempt of the architect in selecting tactful angles for providing the best views and landscape internally.
