TEHRAN – Iran football team coach Carlos Queiroz paid a visit to the Sadabad Cultural-Historical Complex in northern Tehran on Friday.

His assistants and a number of the staff of the complex accompanied the visit, IRNA reported on Saturday.

During the visit to the complex, Queiroz expressed his gratitude for being able to experience a bit of Iranian culture, history, and art.

Furthermore, he thanked the staff of the complex for their dedication to protecting and preserving Iran's history, culture, and art.

Sprawled on about 110 hectares of a mountainside parkland in northern Tehran, the Sadabad Cultural-Historical Complex used to be a royal summer residence during the Qajar and Pahlavi eras.

The complex was initially established and inhabited by some Qajar monarchs in the 19th century. It has undergone further expansions from the 1920s until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The site embraces a variety of buildings, some of which turned out to be house museums showcasing a wide range of royal families’ memorabilia, including lavishly made furniture, dishware, automobiles, carpets, and miniature paintings.
