Tomb of Two Kamals, Mausoleum in Tabriz, Iran
The Tomb of Two Kamals is a mausoleum in Tabriz with an underground chamber built in the style of traditional Persian funerary architecture. The burial space combines elements typical of northern Iranian monuments from different historical periods.
The monument was built to honor two artists separated by centuries: the poet Kamal Khujandi from the 14th century and the miniaturist Kamaleddin Behzad from the 15th century. Their shared memorial reflects how later generations chose to preserve the legacy of both figures together.
The monument honors two artists from different eras: a poet and a miniature painter. This pairing reflects how Persian culture valued both literary and visual arts equally.
The site is located in Tabriz near Kamal Park and can be accessed easily through local streets. The underground chamber maintains different conditions than outside, so visitors may want to bring a light jacket or sweater.
The monument brings together two artists who could never have met, separated by more than a century in their lifetimes. This idea of honoring two figures from different eras in a single shared space is an unusual choice in Persian memorial traditions.
