Golestan Palace

The Golestan Palace, also known as the Gulistan Palace and Rose Garden Palace, is a historic royal Qajar complex in Tehran, Iran's capital city.

The Golestan Palace, one of Tehran's oldest historic sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is part of a complex of royal structures that were originally surrounded inside the mud-thatched walls of Tehran's capital ("citadel"). Gardens, royal structures, and exhibits of Iranian crafts and European gifts from the 18th and 19th centuries make up the museum.

The Golestan Palace is a collection of 17 structures that were previously encompassed inside the "arg" or citadel walls of Tehran and include gardens, Iranian craftwork, and historic royal buildings. Almost bulk of the constructions date from the Qajar Dynasty, which ruled from 1797 until 1834. Unfortunately, during Reza Shah's reign from 1925 to 1945, a great number of the structures were demolished because he believed that the city's historic architecture should not obstruct its new development.
