Ghushkhaneh garden

The Ghushkhaneh garden is a historical garden in Isfahan, Iran. The garden belongs to the era of Abbas I. In the era of Safavids, the ceremony of samite confessing of the King took place here.[1]

Etymology

The word Ghushkhaneh consists of two words: Ghush and Khaneh. Ghush is a Turkish word and means "falcon", Khaneh is a Persian word and means house or home. The name of the garden is Ghushkhaneh, because in the Safavid era, the King's falcons were kept in the garden.[1][2]
