This is one of my favorite palaces in Iran–a 19th century Qajar Palace in Shiraz. The palace rests in Bāgh-e Eram—a historic Persian garden lined with towering 300 year-old cypress trees. Not too far away, in the same city, lies the tomb of the Sufi poet Hafiz…

I can’t be small enough
to make friends with politicians.
My Heart is a Palace for a King,
even if it is full of worry.

— Hafiz
