Enjoyable moments in Tehran

Masoudieh mansion

The Masoudieh mansion (Emarat-e Masoudieh) is one of the most beautiful palaces or historical houses from Qajar dynasty in old Tehran, comprised of a palace and surrounding houses.

The mansion was fusilladed after an unsuccessful assassination of the Mohammadali Shah. The Masoudieh mansion was one of the main gathering centers during the Persian Constitutional Revolution.

Beside its political importance, the mansion has served the country culturally, since first steps of forming the National Library of Iran and also National Museum of Iran were taken there.

This palace narrates the modern history of Iran to those who pay a visit during an Iran trip. Many ancient inscriptions and documents are kept at the site.
