Karaj is a city of Alborz Prince located in Northern-Central Iran. It is well-known as an industrial city and is the fourth largest urban city in Iran. It is the only city having rapid growth as an urban centre closest to the capital Tehran. The city of Karaj has a dull sand-shaded ambience to its skyline. The style of architecture in Karaj is Iranian-Islamic which uses symbolic geometry in abundance and pure forms such as circles and squares. Symmetry in the plan is often reflected in their rectangular courtyards and halls. Colourful stone mosaics and carved stones adorn the historical buildings and memorials in Karaj while the contemporary buildings outshine on another level. Some of the must visit monuments in Karaj include Soleimanieh Palace, Morvarid Palace and the mausoleums of Zeid Palang Abad-e-Eshtehard and Shahzadeh Soleiman.
