The stone affixed to the top of the doorway is of one piece. On the two sides of the doorway are two small chambers used as a sentry post. Within the large courtyard are 20 small rooms. To the east of which is another large courtyard with a tall arched or barrel-shaped roof. In the western section are halls with shelves throughout and a porch in front. 
This palace also has a cellar. The water utilized by the inmates of this edifice, was obtained from a spring called Cheshmeh Shah on the skirts of the Siyah Kooh mountains. The water was channeled to this vicinity by a series of earthenware and stone made pipes. This in itself was a very interesting feature. The earthenware around this structure is related to the Teimoorid period and was repaired to be utilized during the Safavid era.
