It's beautuful.i wish they would have take more care of it. it's not clean. the park around it is beautiful... it's hard to get to the tower because of the heavy traffic in the area...i am not sure if it's worth it to visit...but it's beautiful
Magneficent building! Azadi Tower, which was called Shahyad in the past, is the most famous monument in Tehran. Many people in the world know Iran with this building.
The main symbol of Tehran, with a very nice design of architect Abbas Amanat inspired by Iranian geometry, very nice geometric garden around, must visited by Tehran visitors.
Insane piece of architecture, I definitely suggest you visit the inside! Here are some facts: * The Azadi cultural complex is located in Tehran’s Azadi Square in an area of some 35 acres. The tower is 45 meters high and forms the main part of the complex. * It was designed by Hossein Amanat, who was forced to leave the country during the Iranian revolution in 1979 and now lives in Canada. * The tower, originally built in 1971 to commemorate the 2,500th anniversary of Persian monarchy, became a symbol of freedom during and after the 1979 revolution which toppled the reigning Pahlavi dynasty. Its name changed from Shahyad Tower, or Kings Memorial, to Azadi or Freedom. * The tower combined different phases of Iran’s history and their related architectural features: the very ancient elements of the Sassanid Empire (205-651 AD) arch, and the Islamic era pointed vault. Architecture critics consider it a symbol of the modernizing era of the Shah. * The monument was built from 25,000 blocks of white marble from the mountains of Isfahan province, cut into 15,000 unique shapes.
its a symbol for all iranians. Especially peoples of tehran city. i like it bec of name of it. it means freedom. if u want to see one of most memorable places in iran. go and visit azadi tower. and dont forget to take photos :)
