Milad Tower gives a different reading of Tehran: the emphasis moves from individual buildings to the spread of the city. Rising 435 metres, it is a landmark of the contemporary capital, with observation levels facing across the urban landscape towards the Alborz Mountains. The visit is useful for placing separate city encounters within a larger geography. Rather than seeking one detail, look at the relationship between the metropolitan expanse and its mountain backdrop; visibility will shape how much of that panorama you can read.
