Attar Mausoleum, Timurid mausoleum in Nishapur County, Iran

The octagonal mausoleum features a tiled onion-shaped dome with four entrances, displaying green, yellow, and blue colored tile decorations throughout its structure.

The construction of this memorial site was initiated by Ali-Shir Nava'i during the Timurid dynasty and officially opened around the year 1500.

The mausoleum honors Farid al-Din Attar, a Persian poet whose work 'The Conference of the Birds' shaped Persian literature and Sufi philosophy.

The monument includes four interior seats for visitors and extends into a 119-square-meter garden that contains the grave of painter Kamal-ol-molk.

The structure stands near the Mausoleum of Omar Khayyám, creating a significant concentration of Persian literary monuments in this location.
