Baharestan


Baharestan is the name given to the historic Iranian parliament building, inaugurated in 1906. It was adopted from the name of the neighborhood and a small palace that adorned the place.
The Baharestan remained the location for the lower house of the Iranian parliament until the Iranian Revolution in 1979. After the revolution, the parliament became unicameral and met at the Senate building, and to a newly built building in Baharestan in 2004.
