NEGARESTAN PALACE _ Tehran 2022 / تهران، باغ نگارستان

The Negarestan Palace (Persian: کاخ نگارستان) or the Negarestan Garden (Persian: باغ نگارستان) is a historic building in Tehran, Iran. It was built as a summer residence by the order of Fathali Shah Qajar in 1807.

It is called Negarestan due to the point that in one of the rooms of the palace a large number of paintings, mostly portraits, were on display. Negar(Persian: نگار) means "Picture", "image" or "Painting", and as such Negarestan means "Place of paintings".
Negarestan Garden is one of the significant historical and cultural sites of Tehran. Being located in the city center, the garden is a must-see place for tourists, who find interest in the history of Iran’s cultural development. The history of the garden interacts with the history of the University of Tehran and famous Iranian artist Kamal-Ol Molk. After all, it is a beautiful place to have a walk and get familiar with the Iranian architecture of the 19th-20th century.

One of the halls hosts museum, devoted to the famous Iranian artist Mohammad Qaffari. Known as Kamal-Ol Molk, he started the school of fine arts on the territory of the garden. Consequently, the exposition includes his works and works of two generations of his students.
