The complex was firstinhabited by Qajar monarchs and royal family in the 19th century. After an expansion of the compounds, Reza Shah lived there in the 1920s. And his son, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi moved there in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

\nFun Western Cape Fact:<\/strong> Back in the days the Castle of Good Hope used to be on the coast line, hence the name \u2018Strand Street\u2019 (\u2018strand\u2019 means \u2018beach\u2019 in Dutch and Afrikaans). Land reclamation to create Foreshore and the current harbor caused the coastline to move to the west.<\/p>\n
