Ghazan Mausoleum (Tabriz)

Tabriz, Iran · built 1298

The Ghazan Mausoleum, also known as Gunbad-i 'Âlî and the Shanb-e Ghazan, was a mausoleum complex built by Ghazan in the suburbs of his capital of Tabriz, in the province of East Azerbaijan, Iran. The structure was believed to be completed between 1295 and 1304 CE, in the Ilkhanid style. It was the first Muslim tomb to be built by an Ilkhanid ruler, who hitherto were buried in secret natural locations. Subsequently demolished, most likely during the 17th century, the area of this former monument is now known as Shanb Ghazan.
