In Khoy, a mausoleum attributed to Shams-e Tabrizi stands beside a historic tower associated with Shah Ismail Safavi. Ram horns and hunting trophies embedded in its brickwork create an unusual image of Safavid power and taste. The site holds particular appeal for those interested in Rumi, Sufism and the history of Iran’s great routes.
