Saadabad Historical Complex

The Sa'dabad Complex, also known as Kakh-e Saad, is a 300-hectare complex constructed by the Qajar and Pahlavi kings in Shemiran, Greater Tehran, Iran. This webpage recalls how the late Mohammed Reza Shah (d1980) distanced himself from Tehran's daily life. Of course, residential development has since expanded to this previously secluded mountainside.

Large portions of the complex are museums that are open to the public. Other components are currently in use by the President's Office of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The complex is managed by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran, which is in charge of the majority of the country's items, sites, and cultural characteristics. If you don't have time to see all of the museums, make time to visit the Mellat Palace ('White Palace,' which has a pair of massive bronze boots — the only remnants of a massive statue of Reza Shah (d1941) — standing by the side of the steps.
