Zahir-od-dowleh cemetery, Historical cemetery in Darband, Shemiranat County, Iran.
The cemetery spans across a spacious area near Tajrish, featuring stone paths between graves adorned with traditional Persian architectural elements and inscriptions.
Established after the death of Ali Khan-e Zahir-od-Dowleh in 1924, the site transformed from an older burial ground into a designated cemetery for Iranian intellectuals.
The cemetery contains the graves of influential Iranian figures, including poet Mohammad-Taqi Bahar, musician Hossein Yahaghi, and poet Forough Farrokhzad.
Visitors can access the cemetery through guided tours that provide detailed information about the notable personalities buried within its grounds.
The burial site includes a specific tree called Daghdaghan, where Zahir-od-Dowleh frequently sat during his lifetime before it became his final resting place.
