SHEBELI TOWER

The exquisite brickwork reminds one of superb Seljuki craftsmanship.
The tomb is located on top of a hill adjacent to Damavand.
'Shebeli Tower' is a historical tower in Damavand, in Tehran Province of Iran.
Standing approximately 33 ft tall, the structure is a roofed octagon tomb of ''Sheikh Shebeli'', a Sufi mystic. A ''sardāb'' (basement) also exists under the structure.
The structure is a remnant of the Samanid era, making it from the 12th century, at the latest, and is similar in design to extant structures in Bukhara.
The structure recently underwent some preservations.
