At the time of its construction, there used to be a caravanserai, a barracks and a bathhouse in the complex, but only the palace remains today. Overall, it used to have 200 rooms.[2][3] At times, it was used as a residence for the Shah when he was hunting, and at other times, it served as the royal kitchen.[2]
