The Shah Gharib Mausoleum stands in Arak County, Iran, as a ten-meter-high shrine embodying the transition between Timurid and Safavid architectural traditions. Constructed of brick and mortar, the structure reflects the refined geometric and decorative vocabularies characteristic of these successive Persian dynasties. Designated an Iranian National Heritage site, the mausoleum preserves both the spiritual significance of its occupant and the aesthetic achievements of medieval Islamic architecture in the Iranian plateau.
