Iran - Isfahan

Islamic Gardens
With the rise of Islam around the seventh and eighth century CE came a new type of architecture and landscape. This architecture began in Arabia and spread outwards as far as the Islamic religion carried it to places like Persia, India, and Spain. The concepts of appropriate Islamic architecture and landscape were not rigid and were therefore adaptive to preexisting concepts and forms of architecture.
The gardens in Islamic territory were influenced by the Koran, their design was shaped by the description of paradise.
The gardens which have come into existence since the Safavid Dynasty have influenced other parts of the world, especially Europe.
