City Theater of Tehran

The City Theater of Tehran is a round cultural venue in District 11 that houses multiple performance spaces for different types of shows. The structure contains several halls designed to accommodate various audience sizes and production needs.

The theater opened in 1972 as a modern performance venue in the city. A cafe previously occupied this site before it was demolished to make room for this cultural building.

The building reflects Iranian architectural traditions and shows influence from historical craftsmanship methods. Visitors notice this connection to older building techniques in the details of the exterior.

The building sits openly in the park and is easy to access since there is no fence surrounding it. The venue operates six days a week with Saturday as the closing day, so plan your visit accordingly.

The building has no surrounding fence, allowing street artists to perform spontaneously on the paved area around the structure. This open design makes the place a lively hub for unplanned artistic performances.
