Golestan Palace

Tehran · IRAN DIGITAL WALL

Golestan rewards looking closely rather than treating the palace as one grand façade. Mirrored halls play against colourful tilework, and courtyards and gardens create pauses between architectural spaces. Together they reveal Qajar court taste in Tehran’s historic centre, where Persian craftsmanship met European architectural influences. The complex is a UNESCO World Heritage property. Use the visit to compare materials and visual effects: reflection, colour and the arrangement of outdoor space tell complementary parts of the palace’s story and make its artistic choices tangible.
