A customer counts US dollars in a currency exchange bureau in downtown Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2011. The rial hit a record low on Wednesday, with the US dollar selling for 16,150 rials in foreign currency exchange offices. The dollar sold for about 10,500 rials last December and in 1979 _ the year an Islamic revolution toppled the pro-Western Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi _ it was 70 rials against the dollar. Iran has restricted cash withdrawals and allows banks to sell only $2,000 per year to each person traveling outside the country. (AP Photo/Vahid Salemi)

And in the halls are beautiful works of art, depicting the history of Iran.

In what was once the heart of Tehran is this monument to the glories and excesses of the Qajar rulers. Between Imam Khomeini Sq and the bazaar, the Golestan Palace complex is made up of several grand buildings set around a carefully manicured garden. You must buy a separate ticket for each building.
Although there was a Safavid-era citadel on this site, it was Nasser al-Din Shah (r 1848–96), impressed by what he’d seen of European palaces, who built it into the ‘Palace of Flowers’ you see today. Originally it was much bigger, with inner and outer sections to encompass offices, ministries and private living quarters, but several surrounding buildings were pulled down under the Pahlavis.
The following description assumes you start your visit at the Ivan-e Takht-e Marmar, then continue in a clockwise direction around the courtyard.
Ivan-e Takht-e Marmar Audience hall
From the ticket office, walk along the long pool to the Ivan-e Takht-e Marmar (Marble Throne Verandah), a mirrored, open-fronted audience hall dominated by a magnificent throne. The throne is supported by human figures and constructed from 65 pieces of yellow alabaster mined in Yazd. It was made in the early 1800s for Fath Ali Shah (r 1797–1834), a monarch who managed a staggering (and quite likely very tiring) 200-odd wives and 170 offspring. This hall was used on ceremonial occasions, including the Napoleon-style self-coronation of Reza Shah in 1925.
After leaving the Ivan-e Takht-e Marmar you’ll come to an opensided corner known as Khalvat-e Karim Khani (Karim Khan Nook), all that remains of a 1759 building that served as Karim Khan Zand’s (r 1750–79) Tehran residence. But it was Nasser al-Din Shah who enjoyed this elevated terrace most, smoking qalyan (water pipe) and perhaps contemplating his next asset sale as qanat (underground chanel) water bubbled out of the marble fountain nearby. His marble tombstone now stands on the terrace.

Old description:

Taken about a quarter before sunrise!
The bigger is better!
Taken from my home. (The same place as other Tehran Panorama in my photo stream)
The cropped version of original size was 10411x1512.
Unfortunately, the sky colors changed EVERY SECOND because of the sunrise (or better to say try of sun to rise!)
So you may see 4 borders inside tha panorama because of different light and colors of each shot with its neighbors!
(Generated from 6 shots, each 5.1Mpix)
Although 1024x149 is not a big, even enough size, but btw the bigger is better tha nothing!

Teheran (Perzisch: تهران, Tehran) is de hoofdstad van Iran. De hoofdstad van de gelijknamige provincie Teheran ligt in het noordelijke gedeelte van het land aan de voet van de Elboers. Tijdens de census van 2006 had de stad Teheran 7.797.520 inwoners[1]. Tezamen met de voorsteden wordt in het stedelijk gebied een inwoneraantal van ruim 13 miljoen geschat.
Teheran wordt voor het eerst vermeld in de elfde eeuw v.Chr., maar archeologische opgravingen hebben aangetoond dat de eerste bewoners zich zo rond 3000 v.Chr. vestigden. Teheran was vroeger een van de dorpen van de grote, oude stad Rey. Pas vanaf de zeventiende eeuw ontwikkelde Teheran zich tot een echte stad. Agha Muhammad Khan, de stichter van de Kadjaren-dynastie, koos Teheran in 1788 als de hoofdstad van Iran.
De tweede sjah van de Kadjaren, Fath Ali, die de basis legde voor een Perzische culturele renaissance, liet mooie en grote paleizen optrekken in Teheran. Onder zijn regering vestigden zich vele ambachtslieden en kooplieden uit oudere Perzische centra als Kashan, Isfahan, Shiraz en Tabriz in de nieuwe hoofdstad.
