Hasht Behesht, meaning "Eight Paradises" is a Safavid era palace in Isfahan. It was built in 1669 and is today protected by Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization. Of more than forty mansions which existed in Isfahan during the rule of Safavids, this is the only one left today.Situat în Grădina Privighetorilor (Bagh-e Bulbul), Palatul celor opt Paradisuri este unul dintre cele două pavilioane regale Safavide care au supravieţuit timpului. Construit în 1660, a fost odinioară cel mai bogat decorat din Esfahan.

The Hasht Behesht was restored by IsMEO - Istituto Italiano per il Medio ed Estremo Oriente. The project, completed in 1977, received an Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1980. Palatul celor opt Paradisuri a fost restaurat de IsMEO – Institutul Italian pentru Orientul Mijlociu şi Extremul Orient. Proiectul, finalizat în 1977, a obţinut în anul 1980 Premiul Agha Khan pentru Arhitectură

The Hasht Behesht blends perfectly into the garden, with the soaring wooden columns on its open-sided terrace seeming to mirror the trees in the surrounding park.
