Golestan Palace

The Golestan Palace was first constructed in the 16th century, then refurbished in the 18th century, and ultimately rebuilt in 1865. It is also known as the Gulistan Palace and the Rose Garden Palace in translations from Persian. This complex in Tehran was once a part of the official royal Qajar era. A beautifully designed garden with peaceful lakes is at the heart of this magnificent walled complex. Among the oldest structures in contemporary Tehran are the palace structures.

The Golestan Palace, one of Tehran's oldest historical landmarks and a designated World Heritage Site, is a part of a collection of royal structures that were formerly encircled by the mud-thatched walls of Tehran's capital ("citadel"). Gardens, regal structures, and exhibits of Iranian handicrafts and 18th- and 19th-century European gifts are also part of it. If you don't have time to visit all 12 museums, make sure to purchase tickets for the Marble Throne veranda and the art gallery. After that, take a stroll through the courtyard to admire the many tiled panels, all of which are highly decorative and feature the distinctive yellow, pink, and blue color scheme of the Qajar era.
