Bagh-i Pirnia
Na'in, Iran
Built in the early nineteenth century, the Musalla garden is located on the south side of the old city of Na’in. Within the garden, an octagonal structure with a turquoise blue dome commemorates a local saint, Abd al-Vahhab Na’ini. In the middle of the western wall is a cistern with two grand ventilating shafts (badgirs).
