Visiting the Golestan Palace in Tehran

#getgoing2025 Visiting the Golestan Palace in Tehran was an unforgettable experience. As I entered this historical complex, I was immediately struck by the stunning Persian architecture, blending elegant tilework, intricate wood carvings, and delicate stucco. The palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases the grandeur of the Qajar dynasty, with its lush gardens, beautiful courtyards, and impressive halls. I explored rooms like the Mirror Hall, where the walls were adorned with sparkling mirrors, and the Edifice of the Sun, with its beautiful frescoes and royal history. The combination of history, art, and Persian craftsmanship made this visit a rich cultural experience, offering a glimpse into Iran’s royal past.
