Demolished or destroyed.

The Old Baba Taher Mausoleum in Hamadan, Iran, was a tower-form shrine built in the Ilkhanid architectural tradition, characterized by decorative tilework and brick construction bound with mortar. The structure reflected elements of both Ilkhanid and later Pahlavi aesthetic sensibilities. Now destroyed, the mausoleum once stood as a significant religious monument in Hamadan County, representative of the region's rich tradition of commemorative funerary architecture.
