Tile-working in
Iran has a long history dating back to the 1st millennium BC. Being
practiced during the ages in Iran, this intricate art is displayed in great
diversity on monuments, mosques, mausoleums and portals across the country. In
this tour, we have a short visit to the tile-works decorating the old monuments
of Tehran, boasting the best examples of Qajarid and Pahlavi art.

Affairs, the former Shahrbani palace (state general police department), to admire
their magnificent tile-work. After gaining knowledge about the history and evolution
