Qavam Orangery, which dates back to Qajar Period, is located at the end of Lotf-Ali Khan-e Zand Street in Shiraz. Qavam al-Saltaneh was the founder of this orangery who was appointed as the governor of Fars in 1252 A.H. and constructed buildings in his neighborhood that formed the QavamComplex. The QavamComplex has been constructed and completed between 1257 and 1267 A.H., contemporaneous with the government of Nasiruddin Shah Qajar. This complex constitutes various parts the major of which are Gachineh Bath, Hosseiniyeh Qavam, Qavam Maktab-Khaneh[1], Qavam Andaruni[2], Qavam private bath, prison and Qavam Garden. Qavam Garden which is now called Qavam Orangery because of abundant bitter orange trees is considered among the most beautiful and precious works of Qajar Period; especially when these trees blossom and the pleasing aroma of bitter orange blossoms fills the garden space. The main entrance of this garden is toward the south and there are elegant brick works on its portico and there is a red marble inscription on its head with some ayahs of the holy Qur'an. In addition, the figure of two Qajar soldiers is inscribed on the stone plinths on two sides of the entrance. The entrance door is made of teak wood with elegant woodcarvings on it.
