1. Sheikh Masoud from Egypt

The beautiful paintings on the walls and ceilings are still preserved after centuries. The palace is surrounded by a garden and is well maintained. The entrance fee for foreigners is 2.5 million IRR (four euros). Easily spend 1.5 hours here.

2. Musa Karakulak (Ebru Yahşi) from Türkiye

We visited on September 14, 2024; Restoration work had been done inside it. The collection was open; But without going inside, we walked around its grounds. The entrance fee for each person is 2,500,000 Rials, which is the same as the entrance fee of museums all over the country.

3. Alexandru Ioan from Romania

Along with bridges and churches, this is one of the attractions of Isfahan. Maybe just because the palace was under renovation, we couldn’t enter it. As you can see from the pictures. The surrounding garden is beautiful and has many flowers and trees.

4. Priyesh Bhalodia from India

A very beautiful and quiet environment with a 550-600-year-old palace. The shops around have good traditional fabrics that you can buy. English audio guide service is also available. In the palace, there are many paintings on the wall that show the Iranian royal lifestyle. In the garden, there is a tree with an age of 1,000 to 1,200 years, which is approved by UNESCO. In the center of the pool there is water, which according to the locals, this water comes naturally from the mountain.

5. Ilario Bonomi (Ebru Yahşi) from Italy

A magnificent palace in the heart of a lush forest! When you visit, notice the lavish decorations and the music rooms, which have concave walls to break up sound waves. The wooden and mirrored ceilings and the depicted animals along the arches overlooking the garden are worth a lot of attention. It is a pity that the conservation status is not favorable.
