Shams Palace to Undergo Restoration

Shams Palace, also known as Pearl Palace, miserably abandoned in Alborz Province for years, will soon go through restoration, a senior official at Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization said.
According to Hossein Amin Afshar, deputy head of the provincial ICHHTO, recent visits by heritage authorities to the once-glorious palace eventually led to a decision to change its unfavorable situation.
"The restoration project has been divided into several phases, the first of which is renovation of ceilings and air conditioning systems," ISNA quoted Afshar as saying. 
"Ceilings are the most damaged parts of the palace. The structural damage has been aggravated by the aging heating and ventilation systems."
