at the time of Shah Soleiman and according to

some historians, there used to be a huge garden in

front of the palace. In addition to the beautiful architecture,

marble stones, paintings and tiles used

in Hasht-Behesht add to the beauty of this historic

monument.

The two-story palace building comprises several

rooms allocated to the royal family and their servants.

The balconies of the palace have been decorated

with golden paintings. Hasht-Behesht Palace

is one of Iran’s main tourist attractions and there

are so many manuscripts on the glory and beauty of

Hasht-Behesht Palace. The walls of the unique palace

have been infused with pictures of birds and colored

tiles. The mirror works by skillful Iranian artists

is another significant characteristic of the palace.
