Hezardastan Filming Locations
Tehran is the capital of Iran, in the north of the country. Its central Golestan Palace complex, with its ornate rooms and marble throne, was the seat of power of the Qajar dynasty. The National Jewelry Museum holds many of the Qajar monarchs’ jewels, while the National Museum of Iran has artifacts dating back to Paleolithic times. The Milad Tower offers panoramic views over the city.
In picturesque Ghazali Cinema Town, tourists ride horse-drawn carriages on streets and alleys lined with replicas of Old Tehran-era buildings, which are fixtures in famous Iranian movies and TV shows. Quaint shops sell vintage albums, clothes and books. Green spaces dot the neighborhood, including leafy Hazrate Khadijeh Park with its serene pathways, play areas and dining spots close to the Chitgar Canal.
