  3. The pavilion opens onto the gardens by means of an elegant terrace, only a few steps high and supported by slender, delicate wooden pillars. In reality, there were never more than twenty columns, but they were reflected in the pool in the park, and so the Persian liked to call the building the (pavilion with forty columns) (besides, the number 40 had a symbolic meaning in Persia and expressed respect and admiration). Palatul este precedat de un pavilion-terasă al cărui tavan decorat cu oglinzi este susţinut de coloane svelte sculptate din câte un singur trunchi de copac. De fapt nu sunt 40 de coloane ci numai 20, însă reflectate în apa bazinului de marmură îşi dublează numărul (în plus numărul 40 are o semnificaţie specială în Iran conotaţia lui simbolică fiind respect şi admiraţie)

  4. The main pool is 16 by 108 m

  5. The highly ornamented doors and windows of the palace have almost all been pillaged at times of social anarchy.

  6. Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines
