Created by Shah Abbas, the Hezar-Jarib was located at the end of the Chahar-Bagh-e Bala, and its central walkway was a continuation of the latter... It was located on a natural slope, and according to Chardin and several other travelers of the time, it was composed of twelve terraces that followed the slope of the terrain.
