Qavam House, also known as Naranjestan-e Ghavam, is a traditional and historical house in Shiraz, Iran. It was built during the Qajar dynasty and served as the residence of the Qavam family who were prominent merchants and politicians of their time. Constructed in the late 19th century, the house features intricate tile work, beautiful courtyards, and magnificent mirrored rooms. The architecture of Naranjestan is a reflection of the wealth and power of the Qavam family within the social hierarchy of that period. Its lush garden, named 'Narenjestan' due to the abundance of sour orange trees, adds to the aesthetic ambiance of the house. This treasure of Persian architecture now serves as a museum and is open to the public, offering a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of the Qajar elite. The house also includes the elegant Nasir al-Molk Mosque, known for its stunning stained glass windows that create a kaleidoscope of colors when sunlight passes through them.
