As one of the significant historical and cultural
places in Tehran, Baharestan Square, Negarestan
Garden is a must-see place to get familiar with
Iranian architecture of 19th-20th century.
The garden was built in 1802 by order of Fath-Ali Shah,
the second Shah of Iran, as a summer residence.
There were lots of paintings with kings’ portraits
and signatures of famous painters; hence the
name “Negarestan”, which in Farsi language means
“a place, full of pictures.
