Afif-Abad Garden is a classic Persian garden dating back to the Safavid era, later renovated in the 19th century. The garden is centered around a two-story palace that now houses a museum of military history and artifacts. Visitors can stroll along tree-lined avenues of ancient cypress and pine, enjoy the central pool and fountains, and explore the palace rooms with their ornate ceilings and exhibits. The garden's symmetrical layout and tranquil atmosphere make it a favorite spot for locals to picnic and relax. The palace's balcony offers a fine view of the garden and the distant mountains.
