Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Iran’s capital Tehran was recently reported to have suffered significant structural damage, including to the historic Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
About Golestan Palace:
It is a historically significant site located at the heart of Iran’s capital, Tehran.
Stemming from the Persian word "Golestan" which means "rose garden" or "flower garden", the palace is otherwise known as the "Rose Garden Palace".
Dating back to the 16th century, it is a crucial part of the Persian royal heritage, representing the long and influential reign of the Qajar dynasty, followed by the Pahlavi dynasty.
Originally built as a citadel for Safavid rulers, it was transformed over centuries into a sprawling royal complex with gardens, palatial buildings, and collections of Persian and European artefacts.
It became the seat of government of the Qajar family, which came into power in 1779 and made Teheran the capital of the country.
