Works of art to see
4.5/5
4 reviews

On October 14, 2014, the Tabiaat Bridge was Inaugurated, a huge pedestrian walkway of futuristic architecture, a great success, which links over the highways Ab-o-Atash Park to the west and Taleghani park to the east. It's the country's largest pedestrian bridge. Taabiat means "nature" in Persia, a name that fits very well with this airy structure connecting two large public gardens, one urban and landscaped, the other steep and wooded, on the background of the mountains. This structure is signed by the architect Leila Araghian and the company Diba. The Tabiaat Bridge is more than a passage, it is a space at several levels, a place of living with a coffee, a place where walking, skater, bike or even climbing on horseback… The third level is dedicated to contemplation, to appreciate the magnificent view of Tehran that the Bridge offers. This footbridge required two years of work, more than 14 000 metal pieces, assembled more than 40 metres from the ground and weighs more than 2 000 tonnes. A symbol for Tehran and a true bridge between nature, tourism and urbanity. Don't miss it!

HOUSE OF THE KHANEH-YE TABATABEI (KHANEH-YE TABATABEI)

Places associated with famous people to visit
4.7/5
3 reviews

This magnificent and immense residence belonged to a large trader built in the late nineteenth century. Centered around a set of four inner courtyards, where the family arranged according to the seasons in the 40 respective pieces, broken down by the famous badgir, the rooms opened and connected to the pieces of the house that allowed them to break down and cooled the temperature, the house presents an exceptional range covering more than 5,000 m 2. Here again, stained glass, decorative motifs, moldings are in all parts and illustrate the perfect mastery of Persian architects. Note on the main court iwan the complex moldings of the ceiling. They took back the designs and patterns of the carpet that was laid on the ground. The courtyard, with its gardens and ponds, is flanked by a shaded thumb to allow, as with the iwans, not to suffer too much from the temperature. The whole is logically oriented north-south.
