Shams-ol-Emareh

Shams-ol-Emareh (Persian: شمس‌العماره, lit. 'Edifice of the Sun') is one of Tehran’s historic buildings and a remnant of Qajar Iran. It is one of the most prominent buildings on the east side of Golestan Palace. It was built in 1865–1867 and is notable for its height, decorations and design.

Shams-ol-Emareh is 35 meters tall with five floors. It was the tallest building in Tehran when it was built, and the first building that used metal in its structure. All the pillars in the upper floors are of cast iron. Shams-ol-Emareh was the symbol of Tehran before the National Garden gate was built.
