Tehran railway station
Railway station in Tehran, Iran / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tehran Railway Station (Persian: ايستگاه راه آهن تهران, Istgah-e Rah Ahan-e Tehran) is located in Rah Ahan Square, at the foot of Valiasr Street in the southern part of Tehran, the capital of Iran. The railway station was originally designed in 1928-29 by Polish architect Władysław Horodecki, who died before the construction could begin. In 1930, the experienced Danish railway architect Knud Tanggaard Seest was then tasked to finish the project.[1] Around the time it opened in 1930, the previous tram system in Tehran was shut down. Seest changed the original plans dramatically and gave the railway station a new, highly modern, strict design. Thanks to Seest the Teheran Railway Station is one of the finest examples of early modernistic architecture in the Middle East.
