Iran Isfahan: Chehel Sotoun Palace

The Chehel Sotoun Palace of Isfahan is one of the most beautiful monuments in Iran where Chehel Sotoon means “Forty Column ”. In fact, the palace front porch has only 20 columns. Its reflection in the front pool’s water might be the reason the Palace was named. The spectacular hall of mirrors with its decorative mirror work, tile work and paintings, along with its majestic porches and pool which faces this hall, all add to its splendor.
