At the end, it connects to the Chehelsotun Palace of Qazvin and along its path, passing through several open yards and gardens; you can see the works and find the remains of the various periods of Safavid, Afsharian, Zandieh and Qajar.
The city of Qazvin during the Safavid era was important because of its location on the Silk Road and the geographical and political conditions of that time. For this reason, it was able to secure the name of the Safavid capital for a while.
The transfer of the capital from Tabriz to Qazvin led to the construction of magnificent mansions and its capital in the city. Among these mansions and buildings called the Safavid Garden, which is a collection of several buildings.
Shah Tahmasb ordered, after settling in Qazvin (as his new capital), to build a garden and build a building in it; according to the order of the Shah, prominent Iranian architects gathered and designed a garden; this garden was called the Safavid Garden. The building built upon the request of the Shah, and named the Chehel-Sotun palace or Kolah Farangi mansion.
