Lovely memorial site and tomb of one of Persia's greatest poets, Saadi Shirazi.
Native to Shiraz and had never been anywhere in his life, it's amazing how his poets and verses are still being used by many people across the world.
The outer building of the tomb is new, with the inner walls decorated with his creations. Nice garden around it to just stroll around as well.

A must see place, you can visit Delgosha Garden too. You can walk for 15 minutes from Saadi Tomb.
This place is at the end of Bostan street. Saadi is one of the great Persian poet and literature.
One amazing thing about the building of the tomb is architecture. It ihas a cubic shape from outside but from the inside, it is in the form of an octangle with walls of marble. You can see his poet on the wall.
This tomb is in the middle of a beautiful garden, you can walk and enjoy the music which plays there.

Unique Architecture ! Islamic look. Good museum inside the tomb.
Simple tomb with a small museum but a great genius scientist is buried in it considering the second book printed after Bible in Europe was one of his manuscripts.
A must to see for those love literature and history!!! Abu Mohammad Moshref al-din Muslih bin Abdallah, known as Saadi Shirazi, was one of the major Persian poets and literary figures. Its surrounded by a beautiful garden and will provide a cozy atmosphere to explore and enjoy. Highly recommended!!!
Visiting in the evening is better because of the lighting Abu Ali Sina Mausoleum is the tomb of a famous Iranian physician and philosopher who lived in the 4th century AH. This tomb, which is considered one of Hamadan's landmarks and a symbol of this city, is not just a tomb, and in addition to the tomb of Sheikh Al-Raees, it is the burial place of Abu Saeed Dakhdouk, one of Ibn Sina's friends, and the tomb of Abul Qasim Aref Qazvini, the national poet of Iran. There is also a museum to learn about Abu Ali Sina and the science of medicine in this place. A beautiful green space can be seen around the tomb, which has given it a double charm.
Ibn Sina who is regarded as one of the most significant physicians, astronomers, philosophers, and writers of the Islamic Golden Age (1000 years ago) His most famous works are The Book of Healing, a philosophical and scientific encyclopedia, and The Canon of Medicine, a medical encyclopedia which became a standard medical text at many medieval universities
It was my second visit to the Mausoleum of Avicenna; I like this place very much because of its impressive and unique architecture. The museum is also excellent because it shows different herbs with their medical information.
I liked the carpets at the museum, which are good examples of Persian art and the Persian rug.

Not spectacular yet level of medicine tools back 1000 years ago ...impressive
It is always a pleasure for me to read Saadi's poems, and I make it a point to visit this place. It is one of the places that must be visited during private hours.
It is the tomb of one of the greatest poet that his poems are a life book...saadis poems should be one of the books that must be read before die because its full of useful and learning statements.
I think the poems are very useful for teaching ethics to children and also adults..
Its a great place that is full of positive energy....
Just need first visit to love this place...

It is the tomb
At first it may look like a random garden with a monument in the middle but if you read a little beforehand and know where are you going to , that makes a big difference. A tomb of a world traveler and poet and philosopher and suffi master that his quotes and thoughts are still being used and actually one of the main resources of Farsi literature in term of proverbs or metaphors etc .
If you like to have a good view you can hike from the hill nearby or grab some ice cream and carrot juice from the shops in front as they're famous for that .

Great atmosphere with very tactful and smart architecture by legendary Iranian architect, Houshang Seyhoun. The museuem is worth a visit too and introduces old Iranian medical textbooks, tools, and approaches, some established by Avicenna himself.
Brilliant experience to see the tomb of the great humanist writer and poet. The location is very special, there are beautiful gardens surrounding the pavilion, and it's a wonderful place to be at the end of the day as the sunlight wanes and the birds return to the trees, telling each other about their days. Very memorable experience.
Last resting place of Avicenna, or Abu Ali as he is locally known as. Grounds are nicely kept, the museum is disappointing for such a great historic figure who has contributed so much to the world, even into modern times.
The Monument is surrounded by a very nice park. The Monument it self consists of a very massive base, probably inspired by frech revolutionary architecture of late 18th century and a quite bad interpretation of the Gonbad-e Kabus Monument. The Kabus Tower represents a star of twelve beams, that grows out of a cycle and ends in a cycle. It 's not a cylinder toped with a cone on 12 columns.
All in all a good example for architecture of the 1930s although built in 1954.
Museum has lacks lettering in English.
