Golestan Palace is the former royal Qajar complex in Iran's capital city. The oldest of the historic monuments in Tehran, the Golestan Palace (The Rose Garden Palace) belongs to a group of royal buildings that were once enclosed within the mud-thatched walls of Tehran’s Historic Arg (citadel).The Arg was built during the reign of Tahmasp I (r. 1524-1576). When Agha Mohamd Khan Qajar (1742–1797) chose Tehran as his capital Golestan Palace became the official residence of the royal Qajar family. The palace was rebuilt to its current form in 1865. During the Pahlavi era (1925–1979) Golestan Palace was used for formal royal receptions and the Pahlavi dynasty built their own palace at Niavaran. The most important ceremonies held in the Palace during the Pahlavi era were the coronation of Reza Khan (r. 1925-1941) in Takht-e Marmar and the coronation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (r. 1941-deposed 1979) in the Museum Hall. 

Palatul Golestan (Grădina Trandafirilor), azi muzeu, este de fapt un complex de 17 palate, situat în inima Teheranului, fostă reşedinţă regală a dinastiei Qajare. În timpul dinastiei Pahlavi (1925-1979) a fost folosit pentru recepţii şi ceremonii. Cel mai important eveniment petrecut aici a fost încoronarea lui Reza Khan, pe terasa tronului de marmură..

The spectacular terrace known as Takht-e Marmar (Marble Throne) was built in 1806. Adorned by paintings, marble-carvings, tile-work, stucco, mirrors, enamel, woodcarvings, and lattice windows; the throne embodies the finest of Iranian architecture. The Marble Throne is one of the oldest buildings of the historic Arg. The existing throne, which is situated in the middle of the terrace (iwan), is made of sixty-five pieces of the famous yellow marble of Yazd province.Coronations of Qajar kings, and formal court ceremonies were held on this terrace (iwan). The last coronation to be held at Takht-e-Marmar was the coronation of, the self-proclaimed King, Reza Khan Pahlavi in 1925.

Terasa tronului de marmură, una dintre cele mai vechi clădiri din Palatul Golestan, a fost construită în anul 1806. Decorată cu picturi, sculpturi de marmură, ceramică smălţuită, mozaic de oglinzi, stuc, email, lemn sculptat şi vitralii reprezintă chintesenţa stilului arhitectural iranian. Tronul este realizat din 65 de piese de marmură galbenă din provincia Yazd. Aici a fost încoronat auto-proclamatul şah Reza Pahlavi în 1925.
