Gonbad-e Jabaliyeh

The Gonbad-e Jabaliyeh features an octagonal structure rising 18 meters high with a diameter of 11 meters at an elevation of 1768 meters.

The structure dates back to the 10th century and displays both Buyid and Seljuk architectural elements, marking a transition period in Persian architectural history.

This monument combines Islamic and pre-Islamic architectural elements while local narratives suggest it served as a Zoroastrian fire temple or priest burial site.

Visitors can reach the site by taking a shared taxi from Shohada Square in Kerman, with the structure now functioning as the Jabalieh Treasure housing historical inscriptions.

The mausoleum stands apart from other Iranian structures due to its primary stone construction rather than the traditional brick material used during that period.
