✍️  The historic Shebeli Tower in Damavand, Iran is set to undergo restoration to preserve its unique architecture and cultural significance.
--
👉 The Shebeli Tower is a unique monument in Iran with distinct architecture and a masonry technique known as “free-stone” construction.
👉 The tower is an octagonal, roofed tomb approximately 10 meters tall, dedicated to Abu Bakr al-Shibli, a 4th and 5th-century Sufi mystic and former governor of Damavand.
👉 The monument is a remnant of the Samanid era and is architecturally similar to historic structures found in Bukhara.
👉 The restoration will include work on the dome, walls, basement, and surrounding areas.
👉 Once completed, the tower will serve as a cultural center and hub for handicraft activities and cultural programs.
