[1] The word is derived from the Latin name palātium, for Palatine Hill in Rome which housed the Imperial residences.
The word is also sometimes used to describe a lavishly ornate building used for public entertainment or exhibitions,[1] such as a movie palace.
Later on, Hossein Ali Khan (Moayyer ol Mamalek), a courtier close to Mohammad Shah, followed up the construction of a two-floor Qajar-style mansion within the same area.
This palace was built at the end of Qajar dynasty under the orders of Iqbal-ol-Saltaneh Makui, one of the commanders of Mozafaredin Shah.
Being located on the main transit road between Turkey and Europe, it is visited by thousands of tourists annually.
