The Hasht Behesht, or, Eight Paradises Palace, is located alongside the Chahar Bagh Avenue, north of the Madrasa-e Shah. It was built by Shah Sulaiman in 1669-70. Its plan, executed earlier, is a rectangle with chamfered corners enclosing four rooms at the corners of a domed central hall, with a water basin at its center. Iwans occupy the center of each façade. Raised ten feet above ground, the pavilion is set within its unique garden, which is bisected by an eleven-foot wide water channel.
