About

The Qajar Palace (Persian: قصر قاجار, romanized: Qasr-e Qajar) was the name of a Qajar era palace in Tehran, Iran. It was demolished in the 1920s to be replaced by the Qasr prison. The only remaining structure of the palace complex is a small pavilion.

It had four watchtowers on its corners and did not feature windows on the outside, making it look more like a barracks than a palace.
