The garden of the Forty Columns Palace in Isfahan is a remarkable example of Persian gardens and is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The palace was rebuilt after a soup fire in 1706, and many paintings, pocket paintings, and pottery reflect the luxury of the palace at that time.
The Forty Pillars Palace in Isfahan is the only preserved palace in the imperial city, which was used as a pleasure palace and reception hall during the Safavi period, and was inspired by the colonnades of Achemenide. Historical records of the palace date back to 1614, and the luxurious palace fully reflects the luxury of the time.
The Forty Pillars Palace is a famous building in Isfahan, built in 1647 during the reign of Abbas II, where the king used to receive and entertain foreign envoys. The palace hall wall is painted with precious murals such as king hunting and scenes of historical events at the time. The wide gate porch in front of the palace is supported by 20 cypress pillars, and the front is a rectangular pond, which reflects in the water, as if there are 20 other pillars in the opposite direction, so people call this palace 40 pillars.

四十柱皇宫。建成于1647年,是萨法维王朝阿巴斯二世接见外国使节的地方。是皇城中唯一保存下来的宫殿,其设计灵感来源于阿契美尼德的柱廊。这种沙漠里的豪华大水池说明了主人的尊贵地位,20根粗大的黎巴嫩雪松柱子倒影在池中,因此被称为四十柱皇宫。在伊朗,40意味着“众多”。奢华的宫殿门口依然是BINGBING的风格。宫殿内部的壁画真是精彩绝伦、美轮美奂,有的展现波斯人同乌兹别克人、莫卧儿人、土耳其人交战的历史场景,有的反映国王接见外国使臣的隆重场面,有的描绘男伴女舞的社会图景,还有的是动物和植物的装饰图案。还有印度王胡马雍在伊朗避难的画面。有些壁画里有裸体女性形象,伊斯法罕果然是伊朗最开放、最有活力的城市。宫殿外围的墙上,有西洋风格明显的壁画,充分说明了曾经的文化交流。波斯风格的花园,宽敞典雅美丽。草坪上有体型硕大的乌鸦在悠闲得逛着。花园里的茶室,布置得太有波斯风情了,可惜时间有限,只能参观一下,不能坐下来悠闲得品一杯红茶。
走过临街的历史博物馆就是四十柱宫了,在门口售票处我们购买了外国游客每人20万里亚尔的门票,而用伊朗文字和数字显示的价格,当地人的门票是3000里亚尔,仅相当于人民币0.6元。如此大的票价差距,也势必影响到如今类似宾馆和出租车等行业,都开始向政府学习,给我们这些外国游客以“非国民”的涨价待遇。四十柱宫是萨法维王朝(公元1501-1736)最重要的王宫之一,完工于1647年,是萨法维王朝阿拔斯二世接见外国使节的地方。走进四十柱宫的院落,看到长方形的水池顶端是一座宏伟的宫殿,高大的柱子顶起高大的穹顶。这座宫殿实际只有二十根柱子,因为倒影映人池水中,因此得名四十柱宫。在水池四周和宫殿柱子中心支柱下,均有一种奇特似猫非猫的动物,据说那就是伊朗的狮子,很没有风度的吉祥物。柱廊的墙壁四周有记载这座宫殿修复过程的图片,如今柱廊的一部分还搭着脚手架在修复之中。穿过柱廊,进入室内殿堂,不大的殿堂内部是大小不等的壁画,巨幅的壁画上人物众多,生动记载了当年波斯王朝的辉煌。据资料介绍,其中一幅带有群像的大型壁画反映的是波斯帝国攻占德里的场景,可见当时波斯帝国的疆土之大。而在宫殿室内的小型壁画,虽然色彩鲜艳人物栩栩如生,但总带有历史岁月遗留的残缺痕迹。
