Hasht Behesht palace in Isfahan
The Hasht Behesht palace is an octagonal two story building
which consists of a room with a central dome, four lateral iwanes and adjacent
rooms on the four diagonal axes. It was built in 1669, in the Suleiman Safavid
time. According to historians, Hasht Behesht was surrounded by a large garden
called Bagh-e Bolbol (garden of the nightingale) but the only thing that has
been saved from that time is the palace. Its architectural structure is very
well preserved, the interior of the two floors was originally decorated with
paintings and mosaics. The gallery that gives access to the interior is one of
its most beautiful areas, adorned with mirrors and enameled ceramics and
frescoes on the walls representing beautiful scenes with birds and other
animals. Hasht Behesht recalls the palaces in One Thousand and One Nights
tales. The garden that currently surrounds the building is one of the favorite
places for locals to hang out and relax.
