The square around the tower has lately become a meeting point for the Afghans, so it might not be that safe during the night. Also, to pass the street and go the square is an adventure on its own, as traffic rules are simply non existent in Iran. But the tower itself is nice, divided in many rooms, each with its own specific. The galleries extend around the tower, but a different ticket is required to aces them. The view from the top is quite nice.

The Azadi Tower stands as a historic and symbolic landmark in Tehran, encapsulating the essence of the city. Erected in 1971, during the Pahlavi era, it was originally known as the Shahyad Tower. Following the 1979 revolution, the tower underwent a transformation, both in name and significance, becoming the Azadi Tower, a representation of freedom. The architectural marvel of the tower, characterized by its distinctive design, is accompanied by a cultural center beneath, housing a museum and theater halls. However, despite its allure, a notable drawback lies in the limited availability of parking spots, a challenge that warrants attention and resolution to enhance visitors' experiences. The tower's architecture is a testament to its unique significance on a global scale. The inclusion of a museum and theater halls beneath the tower adds an enriching cultural dimension to the site. The tower's picturesque surroundings feature an open garden, which forms the impressive Azadi Square, an iconic hub within the nation. This confluence of history, design, and cultural influence serves to underline the tower's importance as a symbol of identity and transformation for the city and its inhabitants. Nevertheless, the tower's charm is somewhat overshadowed by the practical issue of limited parking spaces. This concern highlights the need for thoughtful urban planning and development to ensure a seamless experience for those who wish to visit and appreciate the tower's splendor. Addressing this issue could potentially enhance accessibility and overall visitor satisfaction, preserving the tower's historical and cultural significance while ensuring it remains an inviting destination for locals and tourists alike.

Tehran's monument which has gone through name changes through history. Beautiful to visit worthy of 1000 shots! A must see for anyone who passes by.

The Azadi Tower was designed and built as a symbol of "modern Iran" and to commemorate the 2500-year celebrations of the Iranian Empire in the middle of one of the main squares in the west of Tehran, the former Shahyad Square and the current Azadi Square.

The tower is about 45 metres (148 ft) tall and is completely clad in cut marble.[1][2] It was commissioned by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, to mark the 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire and completed in 1971. It also serves as the country's kilometre zero. After winning a competition, architect Hossein Amanat was tasked to design the tower. His ideas were based upon classical and post-classical Iranian architecture,[3] popular influences on art in the 1960s following the White Revolution. Iran's increasing wealth sparked modernization programs and sent the art industry into a renaissance-like period. Collected: Wikipedia
