Bibi Dokhtaran Mausoleum, 15th-century shrine in Shiraz, Iran

The Bibi Dokhtaran Mausoleum stands as a square structure with a central dome, measuring 17 meters in length and width at an elevation of 1538 meters.

Built during the Ilkhanid period to honor Bibi Khadijeh, a descendant of Imam Sajjad, the mausoleum underwent reconstruction after suffering earthquake damage.

The mausoleum represents traditional Persian architecture through its brick construction, tile decorations, and wooden lattice windows that filter natural light into the interior.

Located in the Sarbagh neighborhood near Shah Cheragh shrine, visitors can explore the mausoleum's multiple entrances, courtyard with a square pool, and surrounding gardens.

Young women traditionally visited this shrine to pray for marriage prospects, tying cloth pieces as symbols of their wishes, giving rise to its name meaning Ladies' Shrine.
