Shebeli Tower

The brickwork recalls Seljuq craftsmanship
The tomb is located on top of a hill adjacent to Damavand

Shebeli Tower is a historical tower in Damavand, a city situated in the Tehran Province of Iran.

Standing approximately 10 metres (33 ft) tall, the structure is the roofed octagon tomb of Sheikh Shebeli, a Sufi mystic. A sirdāb (basement) also exists under the structure.

The structure is a remnant of the Samanid era, dating it to the 12th century at the latest. Shebeli Tower is similar in design to extant structures in Bukhara.

The structure recently underwent some preservations.[when?]
