Tomb of Ferdowsi

December 6, 2016 , IRAN , KHORASAN RAZAVI

A view of Tomb of Ferdowsi in Razavi Khorasan, Iran. Tomb of Ferdowsi is a tomb complex composed of a white marble base, and a decorative edifice erected in honor of the Persian poet Ferdowsi located in Tus, Iran, in Razavi Khorasan province. It was built in the early 1930s,[1] under the Reza Shah, and uses mainly elements of Achaemenid architecture to demonstrate Iran's rich culture and history. The construction of the mausoleum as well as its aesthetic design is a reflection of the cultural, and geopolitical status of Iran at the time.
