Imamzadeh Mohammad and Ebrahim, Ferdows

🕰️When was it built?

The original building is attributed to the Timurid era, and its double-shelled dome also resembles the architecture of that period. The tomb was added to the National Heritage List on 16 January 2008 as number 20569. Restoration of the dome began in 2009 to keep the shape and arrangement of its tiles.

🏛️What was it built for?

The shrine is also known as the Bargah of Soltan Mohammad and Soltan Ebrahim and is a place of pilgrimage. Besides its religious role, the dome and its decoration are part of the architectural heritage of Tun; while you look at the details, respect the quiet of the pilgrims.

👀What you will see

• The drum of the dome is covered with square turquoise tiles, with inscriptions of the names of God set among them.
• The upper part of the dome has geometric patterns based on the diamond; follow the repeated shapes from a suitable distance.
• In the decoration at the top of the dome, turquoise, lapis blue, black, white and yellow sit side by side.
• Where the drum meets the upper dome, a band of tiles at the neck joins the two parts.

🎒Good to know before you go

• The tomb is a few metres south of the Jameh Mosque of Tun, so you can see the fronts of both on one walk.
• Dress suitably for a shrine, and ask before photographing inside or photographing pilgrims.
