Golestan Palace

Golestan Palace occupies pride of place in Tehran's history. This heritage site is a complex of buildings and gardens initially built by the Qajar rulers and used as their court and residence. It was finally used by the Pahlavi dynasty as an official space largely for formal receptions.It's ended as being an amalgamation of Persian and European art and architecture. There are many buildings such as Mirror hall, Shamsol Emare, Diomand Hall, and Salam Hall in the palace and it will take a large part of the day to see it all, so keep sufficient time aside.

Why Do People Travel All Over the Globe?

Why do people leave their homes and voyage all over the globe?
By being exposed to new places, people and cultures, you’ll develop a wider world view. And that will make you a better-rounded global citizen. It’s a great reward and big reason why people love to travel. It helps open your mind. You realize that there’s no one way to live life. Meeting people from other places will show you that your world view isn’t the same as everyone else’s.
Why do you travel? What are your reasons?

Mirror working in Golestan Palace

Mirror work can be traced back to 13th century Persia. The use of mirrors and the craft of mirror work stem from traditional Islamic beliefs—the mirrors help to trap or blind the evil eye and reflecting bad luck. 
All of the stunning mirror working elements have come hand in hand in creating a truly precious Persian Palace, indeed fit for royalty. Strolling through the different areas of Persian buildings may sometimes leave tourists wondering about the mysterious and luxurious lives that were lived here!
