Description

Sa'dabad Palace is a museum complex and park covering 80 hectares of forested slopes in northern Tehran with multiple palaces and gardens at the foot of the Tochal mountains. The individual buildings stand scattered among old trees and connect through walking paths and small plazas.

History

The site began in the 19th century as a summer residence for the Qajar dynasty and underwent major expansion in the 1920s under Reza Shah Pahlavi. After the 1979 revolution the grounds opened as a public museum complex for visitors.

Culture

The name comes from Persian roots meaning „place of happiness,

Practical

Metro to Tajrish station leads to the Darband gate and provides direct access for visitors without cars. Zafaraniyeh gate works better for drivers because of nearby parking options.

The Green Palace takes its name from the green marble cladding on the exterior walls rather than from any vegetation. In 1937 four countries signed the Saadabad Pact here for regional cooperation.
