sights of shiraz part4: Arg e Karim Khan

The Arg is a rectangular Brick Fortress, built in the 18th Century. Inside the walls is a small museum.
The building served as both a fort, and residence for its builder. Some of the residential rooms have been restored (and in some cases populated by slightly tacky dioramas)
The interior courtyard is filled with shady citrus trees, providing relief form the heat. The smell of orange blossoms pervades the courtyard in springtime. The park benches provide some privacy for couples to meet.
