Bibi Dokhtaran Shrine

The Bibi Dokhtaran Shrine in Shiraz is defined by a central, rounded dome rising over a two-story structure of brick, plaster, and decorative tiles. Built during the Ilkhanid era, the complex is centered on a square courtyard featuring a stone pool that frames the entrance. The name, meaning Ladies Shrine in Persian, draws from a long-standing local custom where young women would visit to pray for suitable marriages.
