The site includes nine gardens in different provinces. They reflect the diversity of Persian garden design, which has evolved and adapted to different climatic conditions while retaining principles dating back to the time of Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BC. Persian gardens are always divided into four areas, with water playing an important role in both irrigation and decoration, and their design symbolizes the Garden of Eden and the four elements of Zoroastrianism: sky, earth, water and plants. The gardens date from different periods since the 6th century BC and feature buildings, pavilions and walls, as well as complex irrigation systems. They influenced the art of garden design as far away as India and Spain.
