Founded in the Safavid era, the Golestan Palace, also known as the Rose Palace, is located in the center of Tehran, meaning "a place where flowers bloom" in Persian. It is now the National Archaeological Museum of Tehran and the oldest building in the city. After Agha Mohamd Khan Qajar, the king of the Gogjali dynasty in the 18th century, chose Tehran as the capital, it became the place where the king lived. In the 20th century, during the Pahlavi dynasty, two important coronation ceremonies (in 1925 and 1941) were held here.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Golestan Palace is considered the essence of Iranian architecture, with Persian patterns covering the surfaces of the buildings, which are composed of multiple palaces. The rectangular fountain is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the building. The front of the Takht-e Marmar jade bed fountain is where the king was crowned - the throne of King Kaj. It is composed of 65 high-end jade stones from Yazd Province, and the coronation ceremony of the last king of Iran, King Pahlavi, was completed here.
Business hours are from 08:00 to 16:30 every day, and the venue will be cleared afterwards. The entrance fee is 150,000 Iranian rials per person, and an additional 100,000 rials is charged for each palace building (it is recommended to only visit the first three, which costs 350,000 rials in total).
The Grestan Palace is Tehran's only world heritage site. It was built during the Oga dynasty and has been more than 200 years old. The founding emperor of the Oga dynasty was the only eunuch emperor in the world. But he was clever and the means were poisonous, and finally put him on the throne. The name of the palace is "Gree" is a flower, Stan is the place, so people also called him the Rose Palace. The palace used to have the famous peacock throne, but to protect it, it is now moved to the treasure museum in Tehran. There is also a marble throne and it is very beautiful. The mirror hall is the most gorgeous place in the entire palace and cannot be missed!
Located in the heart of Tehran, Iran's capital, it is a historic and ornate royal palace built in the 16th century and was the palace and official site of the Persian king and Iranian emperor, and one of the representatives of modern Iranian architecture and art. The interior of the palace is beautifully decorated with many ornate halls, courtyards and gardens, showing the essence of ancient Iranian culture and architecture.
Gulistan Palace, the exterior wall of the colored enamel tile puzzle beautifully colored, the palace interior is still Iran's unique glass lens set, dazzling, I photographed only the side temple (the main palace is not allowed to shoot). Iranians pay great attention to the rules, women do not wear a headscarf outside, there will be male elders to urge reminders; our amiable driver uncle will firmly refuse to borrow a coat to the leader sister, but later know that it is lent to male group friends to wear, immediately took it out. The Iranians who are obsessed.
A must-see place to travel to Tehran, located in the city center and very convenient for transportation. Very well kept.
Looking for the road to the King's Palace in view of the street scenery and familiar environment is generally smooth. After a little roundabout, the visitors'entrance to the Palace is quickly found. The Greystan Palace in downtown Tehran is one of Tehran's oldest palaces. The palaces now open to the outside world sell tickets separately. And tickets are not sold at the doors of palaces, but must be bought at the ticket counter at the entrance. So it took a lot of talk to buy tickets and staff. Both of them are poor English speakers. He compares the maps of the Iranian language guides, and I use the introduction of netizens to screen several palaces where almost all of them buy tickets separately. Finally, we decided to visit the Mirror Hall (160,000 rials) and the Sun Palace (80,000 rials), which are called "main building" together with the Royal Garden tickets (160,000 rials), the total single ticket price is 400,000 rials, equivalent to 80 yuan. When I first came here to use the Iranian currency, I was not used to such a large unit of currency measurement. Fortunately, I remember the formula for calculating the exchange rate between the Riyal and the RMB introduced by netizens - "get rid of "10,000" multiplied by 2". Simple, clear and easy to remember. It's not cheap, but it's also the ticket price that Iran just started recently for foreign tourists. The price introductions we saw in our online strategy before we left are obviously out of date. After purchasing tickets, I went into this huge palace garden. The first thing I saw was the long pool connected with the palace-like building. I went to the palace and entered the room covered by large white sheets. This was the front-open hall. In order to prevent the sunshine in summer, I put on the white sheets. Such protective measures are also very rare. Walking into the palace, known as the Marble Throne Palace, is said to be used for ceremonies. What we see is a palace surrounded by mirrors, with a magnificent throne in the middle. The throne in the middle is made of 65 pieces of yellow striped marble. The support of the throne is portraits. It is magnificent and unique. Leaving the marble throne hall, we visited several nearby rooms, wall decals, doors and windows sculpture, beams and painted buildings, colorful. After all, the palace is a royal site, and its architectural appearance also shows nobility and temperament. In fact, what impressed us most in this palace is the Mirror Palace called the main building. The glass mirrors used to embellish the palace are of different shapes. It is rare for such a large-scale arrangement to be found in the palace of the king. It's not clear why Iranian royals like to decorate their palaces with mirrors. Of course, it's not clear why photographs are not allowed in the mirror halls. In the palace courtyard, the highest building is the Sun Palace. We bought tickets to visit it. The interior of the palace is a series of rooms decorated with mirrors and tiles, with lots of photographs and furniture and vases presented by European monarchs. Walking in a palace so mixed with European and Persian architectural styles, I thought for a while that I had come to Europe again. This palace gives us the impression that European civilization still has a great influence on this ancient Asian country.
an amazing place to visit. check the interiors and wall designs
