Golestan Palace
At present, Golestan Palace complex consists of eight key palace structures mostly used as museums and the eponymous gardens, a green shared centre of the complex, surrounded by an outer wall with gates. Golestan Palace represents a unique and rich testimony of the architectural language and decorative art during the Qajar era represented mostly in the legacy of Naser ed-Din Shah.
It reflects artistic inspirations of European origin as the earliest representations of synthesized European and Persian style, which became so characteristic of art and architecture in the late 19th and 20th centuries. As such, parts of the palace complex can be seen as the origins of the modern artistic movement.
