Chahar Bagh (Persian: چهارباغ, translation: Four Gardens) is an avenue in Esfahan constructed in the Safavid era of Iran. Shah Abbas I was the king who changed his capital from Qazvin to Esfahan and decided to pour all the countries artistic wealth into that central spot which has been dubbed for centuries nisfi jahan or "Half the World".

The avenue is the most historically famous in all of Persia. See Chaharbagh Boulevard.
