Naser al-Din Shah relief

The stone relief extends 8 meters in width and 4 meters in height, featuring Naser al-Din Shah on horseback with ten ministers standing beside him.

Created in 1878, this monument marked the construction of a new road system that connected different regions during the rule of the Qajar dynasty.

The relief incorporates Persian poetic verses carved into stone, representing the intersection of visual arts and literature in nineteenth-century Iranian craftsmanship.

Located 60 kilometers from Amol along the Haraz road, the relief stands near the Haraz river and remains accessible through local transportation routes.

Russian soldiers during World War II used this historical monument for target practice, leaving marks that remain visible on the stone surface.
