[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is not a single mausoleum. There are three important and many other people buried in this place. The most important one is Shaikh Safi. But more important is the founder of the Safavid dynasty in almost four centuries ago in Iran. This impressive ancient monument, comprising the following components: the mausoleums of Shaikh Safi and Shah Isma'il, Chini khaneh (meaning the house of chinaware), a mosque, Jannat Sara (meaning the house of paradise), Khanaqah (the house of Dervishes), Cheragh Khaneh (the house of lamps), Shahid khaneh (the house of martyrs) and Chelleh Khaneh (the place where devotees shut themselves up during the forty days of Lent). The mausoleum of Sheikh Safi, the famous dome of which is called "Allah-Allah" has an octagonal interior.

I've never seen an Iranian mausoleum, so it teaches us a little more about a part of the world. Interesting ...

Hi Ali,
A well framed scene to show us the beautiful architecture and colours of the buidlings behind. Love the details and the colours of this photo.

Hello Ali,
A well framed picture with the domes in the backgroound mirroring the arch of the gateway. Very good detail in the brickwork.
