Saadi Mausoleum, Persian poet tomb in Shiraz, Iran.

The mausoleum features eight brown stone columns at its entrance, an octagonal structure topped with a dome, and walls adorned with marble surfaces.

The initial burial site from the 13th century was rebuilt multiple times, with the current structure completed in 1952 by architect Mohsen Foroughi.

Seven verses from Saadi's renowned works, including Gulistan and Bustan, are inscribed on the interior walls of this memorial building.

The mausoleum remains open from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM daily, with an entrance fee of 200,000 Iranian Rial for visitors.

A sulphurous water aqueduct flows beneath the structure, while an octagonal fish pond measuring 30 square meters enhances the outdoor space.
