Masoudieh, a luxurious mansion from the Qajar era (1786-1925) is located in southwest of Baharestan Square in the southern part of the city.
Most visitors remember the mansion first for its fine architecture and then its exquisite café where a brunch can ensure a fond memory of the place.
Masoudieh is named after Masoud Mirza, son of Qajar king Nasser al-Din Shah. The prince was a governor of Isfahan and the opulent structure was built in 1879 as his Tehran residence.
It is built in the middle of a garden. The place has a serene vibe and once was a congregation site for the pioneers and supporters of the Constitutional Revolution movement (1905-1911) that led to the establishment of parliament in Iran. The prince himself was a constitutionalist.
