Farmaniye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Farmaniye is a street located in the north of Tehran, Iran. The west end of the street leads to Tajrish Square, while the east end leads to the Farmaniye roundabout which intersects with northern Pasdaran Ave (Saltanat Abad Ave). The new name for Farmaniye street is "Shahid Lavasani", but this is hardly ever used. The name of the road originates from Farmanfarmayan, a rich and well-known family, who owned property by the present Farmaniye road. The street extends around 6-7 km long. The area around the road, towards the Farmaniye roundabout, is also called Farmaniye.
