Ardabil, Azeri-Iran
Shaykh Safi al-Din Tomb
1335-17th cent
Il-Khanid, Safavid
Shaykh Safi al-Din Ardabili (1252-1334) was the founder of the "Safawiyyah" Sufi-Order and the father of the Safavid Dynasty. His tomb in Ardabil still shows the Timurid-Il-Khan influence. Next to it on the right stands Shah Ismail I's tomb a true 17th cent Safavid building. These two tombs are the perfect juxtaposition of Timurid and Safavid architecture.
