Shah goli, a pleasant hillside on park around an
artifical lake to the area of 54,675 square meters in the style of the much
smaller Bagh-i-Takht north of Shiraz or the Qasr-i-Qajar north of Tehran.
Shah goli , only 4 km.south of downstream Tabriz, is so lovely a place that
it deserves an illustration . It is a popular weekend resort for the locals.
A hill in the eastern side of the park leads down to the pool with steps,
and a fountain form top of the hill flows down to the pool, In the center of
the pool there is a grand hexagonal building. The pool itself is said to
have been built during the reign of Aq Qoyunlu kings. However , it was
extended by the Safavids. During the rule of Qahraman Mirza, son of Abbas
Mirza of Qagar dynasty, it was fundamentally repaired. Recently a big
park has been built on the Airport Road, which attracts many visitors.
