MAQBARATOL SHOARA The most potent symbol of Iran’s devotion to art and culture, Maqbaratol Shoara (Poets’ Tomb) is Tabriz’s monument par excellence, putting it on the world map like nothing else. The area around this tomb, a modern structure where more than four hundred Persian poets are buried, is decorated with the poets’ likenesses and poems.
“When you step inside, you are immediately captivated by the other-worldly atmosphere of a temple. This is a place where you can close your eyes and hear and feel poetry, where the moment you are in can itself become a poem. Exactly like Tabriz itself.”
