Demolished or destroyed.

The Tahmasp Wall was a defensive fortification that once encircled Tehran, Iran, constructed in adobe and rising to a height of six meters. Built during the Safavid and later Zand periods, the structure exemplified the architectural traditions of these dynasties. The wall has since been destroyed, leaving only historical record of this once-significant urban defensive system.
