Qaboos Dome World Heritage

Dome of Qaboos is one of the most unique architectural monuments of Iran in the Islamic period, located in the north of the city of Dome of Kavos and 3 kilometers from the surviving ancient city of Gorgan (Jorjan). The Dome of Qaboos has been registered in the UNESCO world list with number 1398. This work was built in the year 397 AH as a memorial to Shams al-Ma’ali Qaboos bin Washamgir. The height of this tower is 55 meters and including the height of the hill, it is 70 meters above the ground. On its brick body, two rows of inscriptions in simple Kufi script are installed, which introduce the founder and the date of its construction. This huge building is made entirely of bricks and is a precious example of brickwork art.
