🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Ojtun Mausoleum was built in 1302-12 in Soltaniya, the capital of the Ilkhanate dynasty founded by the Mongols. Soltaniya, located in Zanjan Province, is one of the outstanding examples of Persian architectural achievement and an important monument to the development of Persian Islamic architecture. The octagonal building is topped by a 50-meter-high dome covered with turquoise colored pottery and surrounded by eight slender minarets. It is the earliest surviving double-shell dome building in Iran. The interior decoration of the mausoleum is also outstanding, and scholars such as AU Pope have described it as "the forerunner of the Taj Mahal."
