In Tus, the Mausoleum of Ferdowsi pays stately tribute to the poet of the Shahnameh and a guardian of the Persian language. Designed by Houshang Seyhoun with inspiration from ancient Iranian architecture, the monument stands in a tranquil garden, accompanied by verses from the epic, a museum and a library.
