Azadi Tower

February 19, 2008 , IRAN , TEHRAN

Azadi Tower, literally the "Freedom Tower" or "Liberty Tower", formerly known as the Shahyad Tower is a monument in Tehran City, the capital of Iran, marking the west entrance and one of the symbols of the city. The architect, Hossein Amanat, won a competition to design a building, which combines elements of the pre-Islamic architecture of Sassanid and Achaemenid eras, and Post-Islamic Iranian architecture.
