Overview
The complex was built on the site of an 8th-century AH (14th-century CE) structure that was commissioned by Iskandar-i Shaykhi, during the Timurid era, and was demolished in 795 AH (1392/1393 CE). Abbas the Great commissioned the current structure, with a square floorpan, in 814 AH (1411/1412 CE).[3]
With the addition of a cenotaph in 1033 AH (1623/1624 CE), the current structure remains relatively unaltered; and includes a museum and a library.[4]
