The Dome of Sultaniyeh is said to be the highest brick dome in the world. It was built in the 14th Century as the mausoleum of Oljeitu who was a descendent of Genghis Khan. It took just 11 years to build (1306-1317) and is the only thing that remains of the town of Sultaniyeh. Oljeitu originally intended the building to be a suitable resting place for the remains of the 3rd Imam which he planned to bring here from Kerbela. However he later decided it should be his own mausoleum. The dome has an internal diameter of 26 m and the distance from the floor to the dome is 52 m. Visitors can climb up two levels and look out over the plains towards the nearby mountains. The building is decorated with patterned bricks, some stucco, and the outside of the dome is covered in turquoise tiling. There is a small catacomb under the mosque and outside visitors will find a tea shop and a small souvenir shop. The site is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list as an “outstanding example of Persian architecture”
