IR-P4

A postcard of Azadi Square (Freedom Square) with the Azadi Tower in Tehran. This square is the largest in the capital. It was known as Shahyad Square before the Iranian Revolution. Thanks lili_6789.














Two 100Rls. map stamps and a 1000Rls. coral fish stamp were used to send this postcard. The stamps were not cancelled.
















However, at the bottom left corner of the card, there is wavy lines marking. It indicates the machine postmark has mis-cancelled somehow.

Alisha Mosque stands in the center of Tabriz, Iran. It is also known as Arg-e Ali-Shāh or Arg-e Tabriz. It is a remnant of a fortress and stands 28m tall. It was initially built as mosque and once a military structure. It is re-converted into mosque in the modern time. Thanks lili_6789.
