Chahar Bagh Boulevard (Persian: چهارباغ, translation: Four Gardens) is a historical avenue in Isfahan constructed in the Safavid era of Iran. This historic street is very similar to the Champs-Élysées in Paris, which some visitors called the Champs-Élysées of Isfahan.
The avenue, historically, is the most famous in all of Persia. It connects the city's northern parts to the southern sections and is about 6 kilometers long. On the east side of this street, there are the Hasht Behesht and Chehel Sotoun gardens.[1]
