Marble Palace, Royal palace and national museum in Ramsar, Iran.
The Marble Palace is a single-story building in Ramsar with a central hall as its core feature and an exterior adorned with carved marble work. Regional artisans shaped the marble stones that form the building's distinctive appearance and outer walls.
The palace was built in 1937 during the Pahlavi dynasty as a summer residence for Reza Shah and later his son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It served as a retreat for the royal family during their visits to the Ramsar region.
The rooms display traditional Iranian craftsmanship through wooden floors, detailed plasterwork, mirrors, and ornamental touches that reflect Persian artistic traditions. Regional artisans contributed their skills to create this rich visual heritage throughout the building.
Visitors can walk through the rooms and view the collection of artifacts from the Pahlavi period displayed throughout the building. Comfortable shoes are advisable since you will move between multiple rooms to see the exhibits spread across the single floor.
The palace grounds contain a decorative blue pool with rare caviar fish and a towering Kashefi Pine Tree rising over 23 meters tall. This impressive tree is a more recent addition to the property and has become a distinctive feature of the landscape.
