Saraye Moshir is a separate part of Vakil Bazaar. It is a perfect place to rest, and have Faloodeh or ice cream and relax by the beautiful pond, and even buy more souvenirs! Saraye Moshir is located in the heart of historical Vakil Bazaar on its southern side, You might not notice that you are entraning this Bazaar, because the architecture is like the main building. But, there are some items in this spot that will make you feel different compared to other parts of Bazaar. Like when you reach the southern part of Vakil Bazaar, you will see an old door with tactful architecture and traditional Persian door knobs on it. As you pass the entrance, you will see an octagon yard with tall plane trees and the pleasant smell of sour orange blossoms will caress your nose (if you plan to visit this place in spring, of course). There are shops all around the site in two stories, and in the middle of the yard, you can find the pool which became more attractive because of the flowers pot like geranium. This cozy traditional bazaar is more than 250 years old. It was built in the order of Mirza Abolhassan MoshirolMolk, a governor of Shiraz province. Its original function was a place for shopping, but throughout the history, due to its unique features, architecture, and the fact that it is more private rather than other parts of Bazaar, it performed as a museum, traditional restaurant, and Tea-Serving center. If you are lucky enough, you might have the chance to meet the guardian of Saraye Moshir. He is lovely and mellifluous, and he wears a traditional costume.

In the year 550 BC, Cyrus the Great, established the Achaemenid Iranian government and chose Pasargad as the first capital for it, a large, plain that was flooded by the Pulwar River. And it was respected until the last king of Achaemenid as a sacred place, and the coronation ceremony of the kings was held there. The tomb of the Cyrus the Great, is in Pasargad plain. Cyrus the Great was born in Pars land in 599 BC. His father, Cambyses I, was one of the local kings of Persia and his mother, Mandana, the daughter of Astiac, the last king of Madad.

In the past the tomb of cyrus the great was between the royal gardens that appeared across the plain. This building is, at the same time, very beautiful and impressive, and it was built on the orders of Cyrus the Great. The construction of the tomb is carried out with precision engineering, which is still firmly in place after 25 centuries. The tomb is 156 square meters and its height is about 11 meters. The stones used in the construction of it are from white marble, which was extracted from Mount Sivand 30 km southwest of Pasargad and moved to this place. The Achaemenid engineers and stone workers have placed the rocks in a precise manner and in such a way that no mortar used in the construction of the tomb and only metal fasteners (iron and lead) were used to attach the stone blocks to each other. The tomb is in seven floors, taken from the holy number seven among Iranians. The tomb of Cyrus has been holy and honorable at all times.
