Tomb of Daniel, Sacred mausoleum in Shush, Iran
The white structure features a distinct 25-tier conical dome reaching 20 meters high, visible from any location within the city boundaries.
The current building dates from the Qajar period, while the two-layered dome was constructed during the Seljuk era using advanced architectural techniques.
The shrine holds religious importance for Muslims and Jews, as Daniel served in ancient Babylon before moving to Shush during the reign of Cyrus.
The mausoleum includes two courtyards with rooms for visitors, mirror decorations inside the shrine area, and tile work throughout the structure.
The mausoleum contains ancient tiles with inscriptions dating to 1330 Hijri, marking specific architectural elements of the religious complex.
