Tomb of Hafez, Persian poet memorial in Shiraz, Iran.
The memorial features an octagonal pavilion with eight columns supporting a copper dome surrounded by marble pools and orange trees in Musalla Gardens.
The current structure, designed by architect André Godard in 1935, replaced earlier memorials dating back to 1452 when a small dome marked the poet's grave.
Hafez's marble tomb contains inscriptions of his poetry, which Iranian families regularly read and memorize as part of their literary heritage.
The tomb complex opens daily from 8:00 AM until late evening, with admission fees of approximately 6 USD for international visitors.
The memorial hall houses a library containing 10,000 volumes dedicated to studying the works of Hafez, who memorized the Quran during childhood.
