Description

Chehel Sotoun is a pavilion in the middle of a park at the far end of
a long pool, in Isfahan, Iran, built by Shah Abbas II to be used for
theShah's entertainment and receptions. In this palace, Shah Abbas II and his successors would receive dignitaries and ambassadors, either on the terrace or in one of the stately reception halls.The name, "Forty Columns," was inspired by the twenty slender wooden columns supporting the entrance pavilion,
which, when reflected in the waters of the fountain, are said to appear to be forty.
