Bamid Garden, Sirjan

Bamid Garden is one of the historical and cultural attractions of Sirjan County in Kerman Province, located in the north of the city. In the past, this area was known as the original core of the city of Sirjan, and throughout different historical periods it played an important role in the development and prosperity of the region. Bamid Garden was registered as a National Heritage site of Iran on 18 Khordad 1384 (Solar Hijri) under registration number 11875.

In the past, this garden served as a refuge for the people of Sirjan from enemy attacks. During the Timurid era, after Idiku, one of Timur's commanders, attacked the city of Sirjan, the people took refuge in Bamid Garden, and the new city of Sirjan took shape at this location. Around 1200 AH (lunar Hijri), Mirza Saeed Kalantar developed a village to the south of Bamid Garden, which was called Saeedabad, and this Saeedabad is the present-day city of Sirjan. One of the most prominent attractions of Bamid Garden is the historical ice houses (yakhchals) of Sirjan, located in its western part. These ice houses date back to the Qajar period and were built to store ice during the hot season of the year.

To reach Bamid Garden, you can head north from the city of Sirjan and get to the area by public transport or private car. Visiting the site is free of charge, and the best time to visit is the cooler seasons of the year, especially spring and autumn. In these seasons, the mild weather and the natural surroundings of the garden offer visitors a delightful experience.
