    The former prison, which is now a museum was very beautiful but there were almost no informations in English. Only Farsi. We were glad that we met a lady there which was working in that museum. She showed us the second part of the prison which really looked like a prison. The first part of the prison a is more like a modern museum. There was a guide that showed us around and luckily he spoke some English. Hope they add some English descriptions in the future though.

    formerly called Qasr Prison, was the first central prison in Tehran. The prison is now shut down and is being visited by the public as the cultural, historical and artistic center of the country, under the name of the Garden of the Palace Museum, located on the highway of Shahid Sayyid Shirazi Highway. Qasr Prison was opened on December 11, 1308 by Reza Shah. The initial phase of the prison, which was inaugurated at that time, was 192 rooms with a capacity of 800 detainees. Later, and until the construction of Evin Prison in the forties, the prison was the only prison in the capital. During this period, the Palace of Prisons developed a lot. After the Islamic Revolution of Iran, this prison was a place of imprisonment for non-political prisoners. In 2004, this prison closed and municipality began to destroy parts of it. Eventually, in 1391, by the municipality it became the museum's garden, and on November 14, 1391, with the presence of the mayor of Tehran and a group of artists for public visitation, the opening ceremony was held.

    The following photos are related to the garden of Tehran Palace Museum. Take a look at the stories. This place was a prison before and it has become a recreation area for citizens. There are still elements of past here. However, you will also encounter various artistic elements. It has good energy here, if you do not think about its past

    There are 2 prisons in a big garden, i don't suggest the political one, but one of them called Markove is the first modern prison in Iran which designed by a Russian architect. He considered Iranian architectural style and material in design of the prison. There are some old cars, some other stuff on exhibition. In the garden you can find 3 cafes with pleasant atmosphere.

    I love how they have transformed this historic prison into a park and museum. Definitely worth a visit, especially in the evenings. There is also a "zoorkhane", traditional Iranian martial arts and music combo, here which is open to the public. The cafe has delicious snacks and herbal tea drinks as well.

    (Translated by Google) The Palace Museum Garden is one of the most fascinating parts of Iranian history. The museum's narrator himself was one of the political prisoners, narrating history moment by moment. (Original) باغ موزه قصر یکی از جذاب ترین بخش های تاریخ ایران هست. راوی موزه خودش از زندانیان سیاسی همانجا بود و تاریخ را لحظه لحظه روایت میکرد

    (Translated by Google) The shrine of Imam Zadeh Mohsen in Hamadan Hamadan Province in western Iran attracts many tourists by its unique nature, its distinct mountains, its vast green plains, its steep slopes, its valuable culture, its history dating back several thousand years, and the shrines of the descendants of the imams that made the city a feature of religious tourism as well as its incomparable nature. The shrine of Imam Zada ​​Mohsen (Imam Zadeh Koh) is one of the descendants of Imam Hasan Mujtaba, peace be upon her, north of one of the valleys of the Alvand Mountains range near the village of Fafrjan, 15 km from Hamadan city and because of its location on the foot of the mountain is also known as (Imam Zadeh Koh). Sunlight radiates this valley throughout the day due to its eastern-western direction. Given that this shrine was built on a high mountain, it has very cold weather in winter and mild in summer. (Original) مقام إمام زاده محسن في همدان تجذب محافظة همدان في غرب إيران العديد من السياح بطبيعته الفريدة وبجبالها المتميزة وسهولها الواسعة الخضرة ومنحدراتها الحادة وثقافتها القيمة وتاريخها الذي يعود إلى عدة آلاف من السنين وبمزارات أحفاد الأئمة التي اضفت المدينة سمة السياحة الدينية فضلاً عن طبيعتها التي لا تضاهى. يقع مقام إمام زادة محسن (إمام زاده كوه) من أحفاد الإمام حسن مجتبى علیها السلام ، شمال أحد وديان سلسلة جبال الوند قرب قرية ففرجن ، على بعد 15 كم من مدينة همدان وبسبب وقوعه على سفح الجبل يُعرف أيضًا بـ (إمام زاده كوه). ویشع ضوء الشمس هذا الوادي طوال اليوم نظرا لاتجاهه الشرقي – الغربي وبالنظر إلى أن هذا المقام تم بناءه على جبل مرتفع فله طقس بارد للغاية في الشتاء ومعتدل في الصيف.

It is a fashionable and modern slavery in multiple dimensions, the general structure of which does not value the concept of human dignity ... (Original) دو سال از بهترین سال‌های عمر بی‌بازگشتم در دوران نامقدس سربازی در میان مشتی آدم عقده‌ای و کثیف در همین زندان به فنا رفت. یک بردگی شیک و امروزی در ابعاد چندگانه است که ساختار کلی آن پشیزی برای مفهوم کرامت انسانی ارزش قائل نیست...

    (Translated by Google) The Qasr Prison Museum is one of the Black Museums or Black Tourism museums and is part of our history. You have good management and are told by some of the inmates there. I think it's worth seeing, and it's not without grace. (Original) موزه زندان قصر از جمله موزه های با دسته بندی بلک توریزم یا گردشگری سیاه حساب میشه و قسمتی از تاریخ ما محسوب میشه. مدیریت خوبی داری و توسط بعضی از زندانی های اونجا قصه هاش تعریف میشه. به نظر من ارزش دیدن رو داره و خالی از لطف نیست.

    (Translated by Google) The Palace Museum Garden is one of the most well-known museums in Tehran, located in Police Square. In the past, Qasr Prison was one of the palaces of the Qajar period. This museum garden, which was one of the oldest palaces of the Qajar kings, was more like a prison due to the lack of external windows. After the revolution, this prison was also a place for keeping non-political prisoners, but in 2003, due to its worn texture and its location in the center of the city, it was converted into a museum garden by the Greater Tehran Municipality. (Original) باغ موزه قصر یکی از شناخته شده ترین موزه های تهران واقع در میدان پلیس است که در گذشته زندان قصر و پیش تر از آن نیز یکی از قصر های دوران قاجار بوده است. این باغ موزه که از جمله قدیمی ‌ترین قصر های پادشا هان قاجار بوده است به علت عدم پنجره های بیرونی بیشتر به زندان شباهت داشته است و بالاخره به دستور رضاشاه پهلوی ساختمان قدیمی تخریب و زندان قصر در محل آن ساخته می شود. این زندان بعد از انقلاب نیز محل نگهداری زندانیان غیر سیاسی بود اما در سال 1382 به علت بافت فرسوده و نیز قرار گرفتن ان در میانه ی شهر، توسط شهرداری تهران بزرگ به باغ موزه تغییر کاربری داد.
