"Jing jing, the musician comes and comes from the heights of Shiraz..."; this line is from one of the well-known songs of Shiraz, raising the question of which point in the city 'the heights of Shiraz' refers to. One of the tour guides of Hafeziyeh considers the current area of Hafez's tomb to be a manifestation of this name; an interpretation that, alongside historical narratives about the Musalla garden, takes us back to the past of one of the most recognized places in Shiraz.
