Very oldest college student in Tehran

دیروز برای بازید لوکیشن به محل رفتیم در حال مرمت شدن است ولی به نظر میرسد چندان پیشرفتی حاصل نشده درمیان آن همه هیا هوی میدان توپخانه آرام و ساکت و زیباست
Pouya Sharif
First modern school in Iran, Very nice to see the building and feel the atmosphere.
Morteza Barjasteh
سنگ بنای دارالفنون در اوائل ۱۲۶۶ه.ق. در زمین واقع در شمال شرقی «ارگ» سلطنتی که پیش از آن سربازخانه بود نهاده شد. نقشه آن را "میرزا ‌رضای مهندس" که از شاگردانی بود که در زمان "عباس میرزا" برای تحصیل به «انگلستان» رفته بود، کشید و "محمدتقی‌خان معمار باشی" بنای آن را ساخت و شاهزاده "بهرام میرزا" به کار بنائی آن رسیدگی می‌کرد. ساختمان شرقی دارالفنون تا اواخر ۱۲۶۷ه.ق. به پایان رسید و مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. دارالفنون روز یکشنبه پنجم ربیع‌الاول ۱۲۶۸ه.ق.(۱۲۳۱ش.) سیزده روز پیش از کشته شدن بانی آن افتتاح شد و شاه در این روز پیش از شکار به مدرسه آمد. اصول مشق پیاده نظام، نخستین درس در همین روز بود.در پشت دارالفنون کارخانه شمع و کافور و آزمایشگاه فیزیک و شیمی و دواسازی برپا شد و چاپخانه‌ای هم ضمیمه آن گردید
Di Jalalkhan
This place is rich in history. I loved the gardens, the hallways and the cellars.
There were lots of rooms that looked out onto the courtyard and gardens. These rooms were filled with photos of old pupils and teachers. There were also loads of books. So you can step back into history and see old textbooks.
The place is really a good quiet place in midst of Tehran's Downtown Bazaar Area.
I would defiantly recommend it if you are interested in history. Exploring the place should take a couple of hours.
Mohammad Naderi
I liked the classrooms. The first modern school of Iran. No entrance fee
Hamid Hosseini
Amirkabir set the foundation for Darolfonoonschool in Tehran. The opening ceremony however, took place after he was dismissed from duty as Vezir. Darolfonoon was a replacement for traditional Madrasa.
It was an institutional model for a war academy where Iranians could also study medicine and foreign languages.
The instructors at Darolfonoon were sent to Europe every once in a while to become aquainted with new technology.
Amirhosein Khosravinejad
It is the first modern school in iran that founded by Amir Kabir (the great persian high minister). Nowdays this school is closed in most time but it has an amazing archeological detail from Qajar era. You can see the statue of Amir Kabir at its enterance. He was Naser Ad-din Shah's high minister just for 3-4 years but he do many thing like founding this school.
