Impression of Tehran – The Capital of Iran
The Milad Tower (Borj-e Milad) is with 435 metres one of the highest towers in the world. The tower provides an impressive panoramic view over the city.
Below are some impressions from the city: the Azadi tower, which became the symbol of post-revolution Tehran; the face of the city in Winter; and the central districts of Tehran: the National Library and other sites near the Grand Bazaar.
