Gur-e Dokhtar

The rectangular stone structure measures 4.45 meters in height and features three rows of stones leading to the central burial chamber.

Belgian archaeologist Louis Vandenberg discovered this fifth-century BCE tomb in 1339 AH, near several Sassanian period structures in the region.

The structure displays traditional Persian architecture through its stone construction methods, utilizing metal fasteners instead of mortar to secure the blocks.

The tomb chamber contains an internal space measuring 2.20 meters in length, 1.55 meters in width, and 2.50 meters in height from floor to ceiling.

Twenty-two stone pieces form the entire structure, with a small pond present inside the chamber and a recessed frame at the top for inscriptions.
