Sultaniyeh

Posted by Toomaj (Tehran, Iran) on 6 July 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Soltaniyeh (Persian: سلطانيه) situated in the Zanjan Province of Iran, some 240 km to the north-west from Tehran, used to be the capital of Ilkhanid rulers of Persia in the 14th century. Its name translates as "the Imperial". In 2005, UNESCO listed Soltaniyeh as one of the World Heritage Sites.

The central magnet of Soltaniyeh's several ruins is the Mausoleum of Il-khan Öljeitü (Persian اولجايتو), traditionally known as the Dome of Soltaniyeh.
