I really love this part of the complex of the Imam Reza Shrine. It the beautiful artworks from the Teymurid Era. And this part is less people groups and you can find more peace here. Also you can also enjoy the beauty artwork of the Iranian tiles and plastering work that called Mogharnas in Persian.

Who was Ferdowsi Abolghasem Ferdowsi Tusi is a Persian poet singer who was born in 329 AH in Khorasan, in the year 416 AH. According to many experts, he can be considered the greatest songwriter in Parsigo, who managed to make one of the greatest works during his lifetime and complete the Shahnameh. He is also famous for other names such as Hakim Sokhan, Hakim Tous, and professor of speech, and it is unique in the whole world. When the language of knowledge and literature in Iran was Arabic, Ferdowsi, with the creation of Shahnameh, gave us a new life to our culture, and we all owe him the immortality of the Persian language to this day. Shahnameh is a book with nearly 60,000 bits and is considered one of the greatest and most prominent epic poems in the world, which is the result of Ferdowsi's struggle for at least thirty years. This literary masterpiece depicts myths, myths, and Iranian history from the beginning to the Arab invasion of Iran in the seventh century and in the four dynasties of the kingdom of Pishdadian, Kianiyan, Parthian and Sassanid, and the three mythical sections (from the time of Kyumars to the kingdom of Fereydoun ), Pahlavani (from the rise of Kaveh Blacksmith to the death of Rustam) and the historical (from the kingdom of Bahman and the rise of Alexander to the opening of Iran by the Arabs).
