Sa'dabad Complex
The Sa'dabad Complex (Persian: مجموعه سعدآباد, romanized: Majmue Saadābād) is an 80 hectare complex built by the Qajar and Pahlavi monarchs, located in Shemiran, Greater Tehran, Iran. Today, the official residence of the President of Iran is located adjacent to the complex.
The complex includes natural forest, streets, qanats, galleries, mansions/palaces, and museums.
The complex was initially built and inhabited in the 19th century by the Qajar shahs. After extensive expansions, Reza Shah of the Pahlavi dynasty resided there from the 1920s until his exile in 1941. His son, Mohammad Reza Shah, moved there in the 1970s. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter stayed in the palace during a visit to Iran to guarantee U.S. support for the regime.
After the 1979 Revolution, the complex became a public museum. On 17 March 2026, multiple palaces in the complex were damaged by shockwaves from airstrikes in the 2026 Iran war.
Large parts of the complex are museums, which are accessible to visitors. Other parts are currently used by the Office of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The complex is operated by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran.
During the Pahlavi era, Reza Shah's lived here during the final years of his reign before his exile to Mauritius. It was also the residence of Tadj ol-Molouk, Mohammad Reza Shah's mother, until the 1979 Revolution.
This palace is currently in the possession of the Presidential Institution of Iran and is reserved for special guests of the Government of Iran; and for this reason it is also famous as "The Republic Building". This palace is also currently inaccessible to the public.
The Green Museum Palace has been called "the most beautiful palace in Iran". This palace is important due to its historical and architectural importance. It dates back to the Qajar era and has two styles of Iranian architecture. They called this palace "The Stone Palace" during the reign of Reza Shah and "The Shahvand palace" during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah; later, it was called "The Green Palace" because of its green façade.
