ASEREF , a town of Persia in the province of Mazandaran, about 50 M. W. of Astarabad ands rn,,Iriland from the Caspian Sea, in 36 42' N. and 536 32' E. The
Population
  is about 6000, comprising descendants of some Georgians introduced by Shah Abbas I. (1587-029) and a number of Gudars a peculiar
pariah
  race, probably of Indian origin. The place was without Irhportance until 1612, when Shah Abbas began building and laying out the palaces and gardens in the neighbourhood now collectively known as Bagh i Shah (the
garden
  of the shah). The palaces, completed in 1627, are now in ruins, but the gardens with their luxuriant vegetation and gigantic cypress and orange trees are well worth a visit. There were originally, six
separate
  gardens, all contained within one large
wall
  but separated one from another by high walls. The
principal
  palace was the Chthel Situn (
forty
  pillara), destroyed by the Afghans in 1723, and, although rebuilt by Nadir Shah in 1731, already in ruins in 1743. About 1 m. north of the town is the Safi-abad
garden
 , with a palace built by Shah Safi (1629-1642) for his daughter. It is situated on a. lovely wooded hill, and was repaired and in
part
  renovated about 187o by Nagiru'd-Din Shah.
