Sheikh Safi Shrine

Sheikh Safi al-Din Khangah and Shrine Ensemble is the tomb of Sheikh Safi-ad-din Ardabili located in Ardabil. In 2010, it was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Sheikh Safi, an eminent leader of an Islamic Sufi order established by the Safavids, was born in Ardabil where this complex is located. The Safavids valued the tomb-mosque form, and the tomb with its mausoleum and prayer hall is located at a right angle to the mosque. The buildings in the complex surround a small inner courtyard (31 by 16 meters). The complex is entered through a long garden. Wikipedia
