Hafez Tomb

Shiraz (شیراز) is the capital city of the Fars province and a treasure trove of Persian culture. It was the capital of Iran during the Zand dynasty's era (1747–79), and is the celebrated birthplace of the great Persian poets Hafiz and Saadi. The city has a population of about 1,500,000. Shiraz was historically famous for Shiraz wine, though commercial production has ceased since the Islamic Revolution.
