Niavaran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Niavaran branch of the National Library of Iran offers a pleasant environment for its users.

The Niavaran Public Library is nestled snugly within the Niavaran city park.

Niavaran (Persian: نياوران‎) is a district in the north of Tehran foothills. Bordering leafy, uphill-winding Darband Street, it can be reached from Tajrish Square, and is close to Darabad at the far north-eastern corner of Greater Tehran.

It is home to the affluent as well as many artists,^{[citation needed]} and replete with cultural riches such as Niavaran Palace Complex, Niavaran Park, and the Farhangsara (Cultural Centre) that includes an amphitheatre, museum, music hall, and Café Gallerie, a courtyard coffee shop with indoor exhibition space.

The architecture is unique in that the area's graded slopes have given rise to multilevel layouts and idiosyncratic lofts. Being situated on the city foothills (1700 metres above sea level), Niavaran has a cooler climate all year round compared to the rest of Tehran, and excellent vantage points.
