El-Goli

The 200-meter-wide square artificial lake in El-Goli contains a pavilion in the center, surrounded by a garden with walking paths and trees.

The garden originated during the Aq Qoyunlu period in the 15th century and expanded under Safavid rule with additions by Qajar prince Qahraman Mirza.

The name changed from Shah Goli to El-Goli after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, reflecting a shift from royal to public ownership of this recreational space.

The park offers boat rentals, cycling paths, mini-golf facilities, restaurants, and free wireless internet access for visitors throughout its grounds.

The octagonal pavilion structure in the middle of the lake functions as a restaurant, rebuilt in 1967 following the original Timurid architectural design.
