Azadi Palace (Persian: کاخ آزادی) is a map featured in the Battlefield 3: Aftermath expansion. The map takes place within and around an Iranian parliament building in Tehran, with a maze-like gameplay focus.
Barriers are erected in various places, limiting infantry movement until vehicles charge through them, or are taken down with explosives.
==Background==
Just hours after the great earthquake, the remaining soldiers on both sides fight for survival as they try to flee the post-apocalyptic city in hopes of rallying up outside the city wasteland.

City Entrance
A small city square close to the US deployment to the north. There are many buildings with sight to the flag.
Market
A small convenience market south of City Entrance. With the flag in front, this capture area is also widely exposed.
Downtown
The outdoor square of a large L-shaped building. Small roads line the south and east, while passages under the building run to the north and west.
[Conquest Large] A salvaged transport spawns to the west.
Outpost
[Conquest Large] A hill just outside the city on the southeast corner. This is the middle flag on Conquest Large, adjacent to flags B–F. Terrain, trees, and small shipping containers provide scant cover. A tank spawns towards the boundary for the controlling team.
Senate
At the Iranian Parliament, a second-story room under a smaller collapsed dome.
Main Floor
The lower-level lobby in the Parliament building. The south wall is bombed out, opening towards the Russian side of the map.
[Conquest Large] A salvaged transport spawns here.
Construction Site
[Conquest Large] The initial flag for the Russian team. A large leaning building shields it from the rest of the map, and two foundations currently stand at three stories tall.

Flags
- A
- Open ruins near Outpost, east. Long range battles often occur from here to the Senate ledges.
- B
- Senate room, upper level, northwest. A ledge at the top of the angled stairway is a popular ambush spot.
- C
- Hallway crossing, ground level, west. The nearby stairway adds a fifth angle of attack, complicating defense.
- D
- Upper level hallway, south center. One of the leaning-floor ramps leads straight to this flag. A Level 3 weapon spawns in the corner of the upper level ledge.
- E
- Ground level between pillars, east.
Ammo Crate
The ammo crate is on ground level between A and B. It can be overlooked from the hills at A, or overhead from B.

Trivia
- "Azadi" means "freedom" in Persian.
- Visitor signs posted around the palace state that there was a third floor not open to the public. It likely collapsed during the earthquake.
