Tower sights in Tehran

  1. A

    Milad Tower (Borj-e Milad)

    Standing 435m high, including 120m of antenna, Milad Tower bears a striking resemblance to Toronto’s CN Tower, with the octagonal concrete shaft tapering from the base to a pod with 12 floors. The pod is home to an observation deck, a revolving restaurant, a ‘sky dome’ and various TV, radio and traffic control functions.

  2. Azadi Tower (Borj-e Azadi)

    Way out west at the end of Azadi Ave is the inverted Y-shaped Azadi Tower, built to commemorate the 2500th anniversary of the Persian Empire in 1971. There's an underground gallery, Quran museum, cinema and, best of all, viewing platform.
