The
Golestan Avenue (formerly Kharabat), which passes in
iront of the Mausoleum of Hafez, after one or two
kilometers turns towards the north alongside the
garden, known as Delgosha, and reaches the village
of Sa'diyeh, where the Mausoleum of Sa'di is
situated. The present building of the Mausoleum has
some resemblance to the palace of the Forty Columns
in Esfahan, and other ancient buildings, improved
with modern architecture, are to be seen there
(Picture No. 106) by order of His Imperial Majesty
the present Mausoleum was built by the Society for
the Protection of National Monuments, and in the
month Ordibehesht, 1331 (1952), the opening
ceremonies were performed in the presence of the
Sovereign. The portico has tall four-sided columns
of reinforced concrete, sheathed in layers of red
marble. The front of the tomb-chamber is decorated
with designs in coloured mosaic tiles, and the
Mausoleum is surmounted by a dome covered with
enamelled tiles of a turquois colour, the whole
presenting an appearance of splendour. The walls
within the tomb-chamber are adorned with enamelled
tiles, and with selected verses in four recesses,
from the four poetical works of Sa'di, called
Golestan, Bustan, Tayebat, and BaDaye, and there is
also an inscription recording the date of the
construction. The former tomb building dated from
the time of Karim Khan Zand, and consisted of two
large rooms on either side of a portico, and there
were steps, arched recessed and small alcoves in the
centre, and in one of the rooms there was the tomb
of Sa'di, and in the other one, the tomb of the late
Sahurideh Fasiho'l-molk, a well-known Shiraz poet of
the last century. The repairs and improvements were
carried out by the late Fath'Ali Khan Saheb-e-divan,
and the late Habibollah Khan Qavamo'l-molk, and
inevitably, in order to erect the present building,
the old structure was demolished. But some pieces of
a very ancient tombstone, and a stone inscription
from a building much older than the Karim Khan one,
were discovered in the course of excavations in the
enclosure, and are preserved in the Mausoleum of
Sa'di. The place of the tomb of the late Shurideh
also is connected by means of a passage way, lit by
seven open arches, to the mausoleum of Sa'di, and
the whole structure presents an unusual and
stricking appearance. The underground stream,
special to Sa'di, flows through a fishpond below the
surface, which can be reached by a flight of steps.
And adjacent buildings, where visitors can stay and
be refreshed, and quarters for the caretaker, have
been erected on the western side of the cnclosure.
On the hill near the village of Sa'diyeh, the
remains of an ancient fort, called Fahandezh, exist,
in which there are two deep square-cut wells,
attributed to the Achaemenian and Sasanian ages, and
to the time of the dynasty of the Atabakan in Fars,
founded by Salghar.
