SA'D ABAD Complex - In a veritable forest, you can find on the slopes of Alborz Mountains around 12 buildings that belonged to the Shah (King) of Iran. I am in front of the White Palace, which was once the Shah's summer residence, with 54 rooms. The boots, made of bronze, are all that remains of a giant statue of Reza Shah Pahlavi (The Shah of course!). The rest of "him" were sawed off after the Revolution when Mohammad Reza Shah was thrown out of the country. I can only imagine how big the original bronze statue had been, because the legs themselves were ten feet high...There wasn't much of interest inside the museum of the White Palace. Posted by Hello
