Shahshahan Mausoleum

The Shahshahan Mausoleum is a cylindrical tower in Isfahan decorated with intricate patterns made from brick, plaster, and glazed tiles. Both the interior and exterior walls display geometric designs and Arabic inscriptions that define the structure.

The structure was built in the middle of the 15th century to honor an important person who became a victim of rulers in that era. It stands as a testament to Timurid architecture and the artistic traditions of that time.

The building's name and interior inscriptions tell the story of the person it honors and preserve an important historical moment. Visitors can see the detailed Arabic texts on the walls that keep this memory alive.

The building is located in District 3 and is accessible to visitors interested in exploring Timurid architecture. Plan time to examine the detailed decorations closely, as these elements cover the entire structure.

The mausoleum was not only built as a monument but also funded with economic resources to ensure its long-term maintenance. The founder transferred lands and settlements to generate regular income for the structure's upkeep.
