Tombs of the Green Dome Garden

Tombs of the Green Dome Garden: a treasure of history and architectureThis complex includes three brick domes that were built at the end of the 8th century AH and the beginning of the 9th century AH.The northern dome of this complex is the burial place of Khwaja Asiluddin and two other rulers of the Safi dynasty who died in 761 AH. The central dome is the tomb of Khwaja Ali Safi and the tomb of three of the rulers of the Safi dynasty, which was built in 792 AH. The date of the construction of the southern dome is not known, but according to its architectural style, it seems to belong to the same period.Tombs of the Green Dome garden are also very important in terms of architecture. The decorations of these buildings, in which a variety of plastering techniques are used, are influenced by the Soltanieh dome, and the type of regular and uniform Chinese bricks and very beautiful designs of shamsa and spurs worked in it show the elegance and skill of the architects of that period. Also, there are inscriptions in thulth or Kufi script with relief plasterwork in these buildings, which provide valuable information about the date of construction and the characteristics of the tomb's owners.
