One of the most beautiful is the Tomb of Bibi Jawindi.
This octagonal tomb is embellished with extensive tile work, but is now in a dilapidated state.
Jahaniyan Jahangasht had a great influence on Bibi Jawandis life.
He implored people to follow the prophet Muhammads way of life in speech, conduct and action.
He advised people to consume less meat and offer more prayers.
Bibi Jawindi died in 1403.
Nearly a century later, in 1493, Prince Dilshad of Iran got a tomb built in her memory.
The tomb is built of fired bricks on an octagonal base with turrets at each corner of the octagon.
A single dome was raised above on a smaller octagonal drum with arched windows.
Centuries of exposure to the elements have ravaged the structure.
Half of it has collapsed in a heap of broken bricks and tiles.
Furthermore, inappropriate methods of repair have further damaged the complex.
But those are in a poorer shape.
