Hafez Tomb
Recommended. Mausoleum of Hafez- Hafez 1324-1391, the greatest master of Persian lyric poetry and the literary giant of the 14th century in the west and central Asia, was born in Shiraz, lived all his life here, sang its praises in unsurpassed verse and was buried in a garden known after him as the Hafezieh, in the northeast part of the city. The extraordinary popularity and the wide appeal of this great poet among all Persian-speaking people make his tomb a cherished placed, visited by all. This mausoleum too was rebuilt in the early 50âs. A flight of stone steps reaches to the tomb under a tiled cupola resembling a dervishâs hat. The tombstone is beautifully inscribed with two of Hafezâs poems or Ghazals. Visitors to the tomb can still, as they have done for centuries, take the omens, or faals, by picking a page at random from a volume of Hafez, kept for this purpose.Saadi Tomb
Recommended. Mausoleum of Saadi: Here lie the earthly remains of one of Iranâs greatest poets-Saâdi. Even from the very early days after the poetâs death, the mausoleum of Saâdi became a place of pilgrimage to lovers of poetry and literature. In 1808 AD Karim Khan Zand renovated the mausoleum. The tomb was rebuilt in the early 50âs. The porch with its tall columns of pinkish marble is a traditional feature of Iranian architecture.Arg of Karim Khan
