Shadiyakh orShadyakh (Persian:شادیاخ, presumably, a contracted form ofشادی کاخ,Shadi-Kakh means(The) Palace of Happiness[1]) was one of the main palaces, gardens and great neighborhoods ofNishapur in theMiddle Ages. It was established byAbdullah ibn Tahir al-Khurasani in the 9th century AD, becoming more important and populated after that. Some notable people likeAttar of Nishapur lived there.Attar's tomb is now in that area. This palace was perhaps completely ruined in 13th century AD.
