Tarbiyat is a pedestrian street in center of Tabriz. It was built during the Pahlavi Dynasty (the first Pahlavi) and named in memory of Tabriz's mayor Mohammad Ali Khan-e Tarbiyat, who was responsible for initiation of the modernization project of Tabriz. Some parts of Tarbiyat st. was passing through part of the residential complex belonging to Qajar-Batmanghelich (Shah-e-Nimrouz, the commander of the military forces stationed in Northwestern Iran) which was expropriated by Reza shah shortly after his coup against Ahmad Shah Qajar in 1925.
