Tomb of Hamdallah Mustawfi

Brick mausoleum of the 14th-century Persian historian and geographer Hamdallah Mustawfi.

This modest brick mausoleum honours Hamdallah Mustawfi, the 14th-century historian and geographer whose writing is still a major source for medieval Iran. The building is not grand, but the fluted dome and quiet garden make a useful pause away from the busier bazaar streets.

It is best for travellers who like literary and historical footnotes. Pair it with the central sights rather than making a special trip across town.
