We passed this place and village in 1975 on our way back home from Nepal. The Dome of Soltaniyeh of the early 14th century was very impressive by that time and only being visited by a few tourists.

That's was good trip ,the soltanieh dome is a very beautiful and ancient historical place and if you're on the way in tehran tabriz free-way i recommended to you for a good short trip.😉

Amazing UNESCO World Heritage site as the biggest brick dome in the world.
You would need about an hour to visit every part of it.
Do not miss the museum and balcony that would see unique artistic frescos!
