Architectural Diamonds in Shiraz: Part1

The real gyms of Shiraz, in my opinion, are its extremely happy and hospital people who care more about having fun than working (just my type of people), endless number of famous Persian Gardens which beset this green-life-invaded city, mouth-watering exquisite Persian cousins and salads like the famous Shirazi Salad, luxuriously-beautiful women and prestigious men, and to-die-for delicious traditional Persian deserts and sweets like the well-known Halva Kasih (yellow dens sweet) and Masghati Shirazi (also another kind of conventional sweet).

Marks of human influence of a couple of thousand years, countless dynasties emerging and vanishing and while doing so also upholding unique ideologies and thought-processes, the advent of world-conquering religions and prophesized intellectuals, and standing at the midst of Eurasian road in the best geographical location possible have all blessed Iran with a broad spectrum of ethnic groups, world-class monuments and heritage sites, exceptional traditions and beliefs, game-of-thrones like epic stories and heroes, and tons of mind-blowing archeological items scattered throughout its soil.
