🧭 Get directionsOur map and route planner is in Persian.

The Tomb of Allameh Davani is in the village of Davan in Kazerun County, Fars Province. The building is the burial place of Jalal al-Din Mohammad Davani and a number of the scholars of Davan, and its shape resembles a chahartaqi.

When was it built?

The building is dated to the 10th century AH (16th century), but there are other views about the age of the building itself, and its likeness to Sasanian chahartaqis has been pointed out. The exact date of the building is not clear, and the lifetime of the Allameh is not a firm date for it.

What was it built for?

The place became the tomb of the scholars of Davan. Sheikh Ali ibn Ahmad Khatib is also said to be buried here, so the building is not the tomb of one person only.

Something interesting

The tomb was added to the National Heritage List on 9 February 1986 as number 1700. A wall was built around the chahartaqi-like structure, and its surroundings were repaired with mountain stone and rubble; this does not prove that the whole building is Sasanian.
