Shah-Goli garden, Tabriz: No one knows which of the legends about its origin is true. It was constructed at least as early as the late eighteenth century and added to by local governors over the years. Shah-Goli is a water garden, an artificial lake seven hundred feet square, built not by excavating but by raising artificial terraces that are concealed beneath plantings of poplars and willows, so that the lake appears to float above its landscape.
