Golestan Palace is a building located in the central part of Tehran city, which was built in the late 980s of AH during the Safavid era and was used by 7 Qajar kings as a place of residence and kingdom. Golestan Palace is a collection of several mansions, courtyards, gardens, halls and passageways, each of which can be a historical monument and a unique tourist attraction.
The presence of various kings in this palace has made the soul of the building witness important historical events, some of which we know about. But some others, like a secret in the heart of the building’s walls, will remain silent forever. Among the most important events that took place in Golestan Palace, we can mention the coronation of Muzaffaruddin Shah and Ahmad Shah Qajar, the opening of the 1st Majlis, the preparations for the extinction of the Qajar dynasty and the establishment of the Pahlavi dynasty, the sitting and coronation of Reza Shah and the coronation of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. The fact that Golestan Palace was built during the Safavid era, but what comes out of the heart of history now is all the events of the Qajar and Pahlavi eras, it is related to the fact that Golestan Palace underwent many changes and sometimes many damages throughout history. Therefore, currently there is not much information about the events that happened in this building before the Qajar era.
