History of Milad Tower
Milad Tower, a staggering 435-meter (1,427 ft.) high multipurpose Tower, was part of the Shahestan Pahlavi project and is a remarkable symbol of Tehran, designed in the 1970s but never materialized except for the Tower.
After an international competition, the project was awarded to the Llewellyn Davies Company, and construction was inaugurated on August 19, 1975.
However, later architectural modifications were considered and applied from 2000 to 2009 to make it internally and externally specious to make it one of the most stunning Tehran tourist attractions.
