The palace from the north leads to the Imam Khomeini Street and Square, from the west to Khayyam Street, east to Nasrkhsro Street, and from the south to 15 Khordad Avenue and the Arg square. This collection dates back to the Safavid era.
, during one of his trips to Ray, Safavid Shah Tahmasb, ordered the building of a mansion that locates 6 kilometers away from Tehran. Later on, Safavid Shah Abbas completed this collection by constructing four gardens and walls around the mansion. In Safavid era, the Safavid kings sometimes chose Tehran for their residence, even King Suleiman Safavi built a palace in this city. However, today, there is no trace of most of the buildings constructed during Safavid era.
During the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Tehran citadel was visited by foreign guests and the palace of Saadabad Palace, and then the Niavaran Palace were chosen as the royal palaces. Also, many parts of the Golestan Palace were destroyed, including its fence, the Grand Bazaar, the building of the Justice Office, the gallery, the Dolate court, the Narenjestan gurden, the Golshan Garden and the interior buildings. However, after the Islamic revolution in 1979, the complex, like the other royal palaces, changed its function and became a museum open to public, so everyone could enjoy sightseeing in this collection and get amazed by the magnificence and grandeur of this building, which is the result of long-lasting Iranian artists.
