Shah Nematollah Vali Shrine
Shah Nematollah Vali Shrine, Timurid mausoleum in Mahan, Iran
The complex contains multiple courtyards, a mosque, and reflection pools, with twin minarets covered in turquoise tiles rising above the main structure.
Construction began after Shah Nematollah Vali's death in 1431, with Ahmad Shah Bahmani initiating the project and Shah Abbas I adding renovations in 1601.
The shrine houses a museum displaying rare Quran manuscripts and traditional Kerman handicrafts, preserving the region's artistic heritage through centuries.
The shrine operates from 9 AM to 7 PM daily, with optimal visiting times during spring months from March to May or autumn from September to December.
The dome's architecture incorporates eleven triangles and references to eleven angels, reflecting numerical symbolism in Sufi traditions.
