Golestan Palace Complex consists of 17 palaces, museums, and Halls. Almost all of this complex was built during 200 years of Qajar kings ruling. These palaces were used for many different occasions such as coronation and other important celebrations.When Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar (1742–1797) chose Tehran as his capital Golestan Palace became the official residence of the royal Qajar family. The palace was rebuilt to its current form in 1865. During the Pahlavi era (1925–1979) Golestan Palace was used for formal royal receptions and the Pahlavi dynasty built their own palace at Niavaran. The most important ceremonies held in the Palace during the Pahlavi era were the coronation of Reza Khan (r. 1925-1941) in Takht-e Marmar and the coronation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (r. 1941-deposed 1979) in the Museum Hall. 

Palatul Golestan (Grădina Trandafirilor), azi muzeu, este de fapt un complex de 17 palate, construit aproape în întregime în timpul celor 200 de ani ai dinastiei Qajare. Folosit cu ocazia ceremoniilor importante a devenit reşedinţa oficială a familiei regale atunci când Agha Mohammad Khan a mutat capitala la Teheran. Complexul a fost modificat şi reconstruit în 1865.

Khalvat Karim Khani

(In Iran the Persian term used for patio is hayat khalvat which translates to 'a small quiet and private yard,' and is usually a courtyard within the dwelling or walled within the property, for women's privacy without hijab)Dating back to 1759, this building (similar to Takht-e-Marmar) was a part of the interior residence of Karim Khan Zand. it is a terrace (iwan). There is a small marble throne inside the terrace. The structure is much smaller than Takht-e-Marmar and it has much less ornamentation. There was once a small pond with a fountain in the middle of this terrace. Water from a subterranean stream (the king’s qanat) flowed from the fountain into the pond and was later used to irrigate the Palace grounds.

Clădirea construită în 1759, foarte asemănătoare cu terasa tronului de marmură, făcea parte din reşedinţa privată a şahului Karim Khan Zand. Se află pe terasa aceasta, pe lângă tronul de marmură, o fântână arteziană alimentată odinioară de un canal subteran (qanat), apa căreia era folosită apoi la stropirea grădinilor

Takht Marmar Fat′h-Ali Shah Qajar and Howz Khaneh.

Nasser-ol-Din Shah was fond of this corner of Golestan Palace. He is said to have spent much time here in rest and repose– smoking his water pipe in quite reflection. In fact, some believe that it was he who dubbed the structure Khalvat (nook). It seems extraordinary, but the valuable gravestone of Nasser-ol-Din Shah finally found its way to this quite corner of the Palace after being misplaced for sometime. This marble stone with a craved image of Nasser-ol-Din Shah is indeed a site to behold.

Acesta era locul favorit al Şahului Nasser-ol-Din, care şi-a petrecut mult timp fumându-şi narghileaua aici şi meditând. Se pare că el a botezat locul Khalvat (ungher retras pentru meditaţie şi solitudine). Pare extraordinar faptul că până la urmă piatra de mormânt, splendid sculptată, a şahului, a ajuns pe această terasă.

The Royal Court and Residence occupied more than one third of Arg, like traditional Iranian houses, had two interior and exterior quarters. The exterior quarters consisted of the administrative section of the royal court and a square shaped garden known as Golestan (rose garden). These two parts, were separated by several buildings, that were destroyed in Pahlavi period.

Curtea şi reşedinţa regală ocupau mai mult de o treime din Citadelă iar palatul privat era despărţit de zona publică (sectorul administrativ şi grădina trandafirilor) de mai multe clădiri care au fost demolate în epoca Pahlavi.

The Lion and Sun is one of the better-known emblems of Iran, and between 1423 and 1979 was an element in Iran's national flag. The motif, which combines ancient Iranian, Arab, Turkish, Mongol became a popular symbol in Iran in the 12th century The lion and sun symbol is based largely on astronomical and astrological configurations. It became a national emblem during the Qajar era.

Binecunoscuta efigie Leul şi Soarele (element al steagului iranian în perioada 1423 – 1979), încărcat cu semnificaţii persane, arabe, turceşti sau mongole, acest simbol a devenit foarte popular în Iran încă din secolul XII. În timpul dinastiei Qajare a fost emblema naţională a Iranului
