Four solid stone pillars support the roof of the first floor and three ponds are dug inside. The middle basin, which is larger and longer than the other two, is probably the burial place of an important person, perhaps Ferritus, the father of Diaco, the first king of the Medes.The exterior of the mausoleum is plain and undecorated, but the entrance of its crescent arch gives it a special elegance and beauty. Inside the tomb, with its simplicity and solidity, it inspires visitors with a sense of grandeur and history.A unique view:From the top of Faqre Qa tomb, a unique view of the Shahrviran plain is in front of your eyes.
