The art of gardening in Iran dates back to the second millennium BC. Iranians have long paid particular attention to combining architecture with the natural environment, and Iranian gardens are clear examples of this combination. This research aims to study and analyze a unique species of Persian garden called multi-yard gardens. These gardens have introduced a new aspect of Iranian landscape architecture. The research method in this research combines library studies with description, analysis, and comparison of the studied samples. Four examples of Iranian multi-yard gardens have been studied, of which, unfortunately, two have been almost destroyed in recent years, but sufficient information for their analysis has been recorded in historical documents. One of the actual results of this research was the analysis of spatial geometry and movement system in this type of Iranian garden in which privacy and view system are designed creatively.
