Milad Tower has height up to 435 meters. The building is located in between Qarp City and Gisha Disctrict in Tehran, the capital of Iran.
The eighth rectangle built by Mohammad Reza Hafezi became one of the icons of the people in Tehran and also Iran overall, as we known has Persian style. The building structure consists of five main parts, including the foundation, the transition structure (lobby), the shaft, the head structure, and the antenna pole.

This multipurpose building has officially opened since 2009. Not only domestic tourists, but also foreign tourists often come to Milad Tower. They wanted to see the city view of Theran from the top of the tower.
At night, the glitter of lights flashing from every building and the light from the passing of the vehicle makes our eyes feel comfortable. In fact, the strong winds and cold air in Iran, in mid January did not stop the visitors enjoyed the atmosphere above the tower.

In Tehran, we can find many parks, and it is easier than when we are looking for shops, said one of Indonesia Consulate in Iran staffs, Yanti.
The beautiful existence of the parks in this city cast the tiredness away. The roaring sound of the vehicle engine and the sight of the city streets of Tehran seems to be replaced by the beautiful flowers that bloom in some of the city's parks.
