Soltaniyeh
The mausoleum of Oljaytu was constructed in 1302–12 in the city of Soltaniyeh, the capital of the Ilkhanid dynasty, which was founded by the Mongols. Situated in the province of Zanjan, Soltaniyeh is one of the outstanding examples of the achievements of Persian architecture and a key monument in the development of its Islamic architecture. The octagonal building is crowned with a 50 m tall dome covered in turquoise-blue faience and surrounded by eight slender minarets. It is the earliest existing example of the double-shelled dome in Iran. The mausoleum’s interior decoration is also outstanding and scholars such as A.U. Pope have described the building as ‘anticipating the Taj Mahal’.
苏丹尼叶城
苏丹尼叶城是伊卡哈尼德王朝(Ilkhanid dynasty)的首都，由蒙古人所建，并于1302-1312年间在该城修建了欧杰图陵墓。苏丹尼叶位于伊朗赞詹省，不仅是波斯建筑成就的良好典范，还是伊斯兰建筑发展史上的一个重要纪念碑。陵墓八角型的建物顶着一座50米高、覆盖土耳其蓝陶片的圆顶，并由八座细长的尖塔所围绕。它是伊朗现存的最早双层圆屋顶建筑，陵墓的内部装饰也很出色，波普等学者形容这座陵墓为“泰姬陵的先驱”。
