UNESCO World Heritage Site, Chehel Sotoon (“Forty Columns”) is a pavilion in the middle of a park built by Shah Abbas II round an earlier building erected by Shah Abbas I. for coronations and the reception of foreign embassies

Cuprins pe lista patrimoniului mondial UNESCO, palatul Chehel Sotoon a fost construit în timpul domniei Şahului Abbas II în mijlocul unui parc, pentru a servi ca palat de încoronare, loc de distracţie şi loc de primire a ambasadorilor străini

The Safavid royal palace used for coronations and the reception of foreign embassies stands in the center of a large garden. The layout of these gardens, with three walks shaded by plane trees, dates from the period of Shah Abbās I (r. 1588-1629). The Čehel Sotūn marks a high point in the development of the type of Persian palace with columned halls, in which the influence of Achaemenid palace architecture (see APADĀNA), transmitted through popular wooden buildings, is still discernible. Palatul regal destinat încoronărilor şi primirii ambasadorilor streini este amplasat în mijlocul unui parc de cca 7 hectare, parc amenajat încă din vremea Şahului Abbas cel Mare (d.1588-1629). Cehel Sotoon marchează apogeul dezvoltării acestui tip de palat precedat de portic cu coloane, la care influenţa arhitecturii palatelor ahemenide se vede cel mai bine ( vezi Apadana)
