Baharestan

Baharestan

Baharestan (PerB| بهارستان ) is the name given to the historic Iranian parliament (majlis) building, inaugurated in 1906 (see: Iranian Constitutional Revolution). 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 chamber of the Iranian Parliament (the Senate had moved to a new building in central Tehran) until the Iranian Revolution. After the revolution, the parliament became unicameral and met at the Senate building, and in 2004 to a newly built building in Baharestan.
