Gonbad-e Sabz Mashhad

The small, 17th-century blue-domed tomb of scholar and mystic Momen Mashhadi forms a pretty sight in the middle of a traffic circle. The last remaining Safavid monument in what was once a large wakuf (bequest) garden, it retains pretty multicoloured mo-ar-raq (piece-by-piece) floral tiling on the four small iwans of its square-plan exterior. The charming guardian often offers tea to visitors outside the mausoleum's discordantly new electronic sliding doors.
