The Tomb
of
Saadi,
commonly
known
as Saadieh (Persian: سعدیه),
is
a
tomb
and
mausoleum
dedicated
to
the Persian poet Saadi in
the Iranian city
of Shiraz.
Saadi
was
buried
at
the
end
of
his
life
at
a Khanqah at
the
current
location.
In
the
13th
century
a
tomb
built
for
Saadi
by Shams
al-Din
Juvayni,
the
vizir
of Abaqa
Khan.
In
the
17th
century,
this
tomb
was
destroyed.
During
the
reign
of Karim
Khan[1] was
built
a
mausoleum
of
two
floors
of
brick
and
plaster,
flanked
by
two
rooms.
The
current
building
was
built
between
1950
and
1952[2] to
a
design
by
the
architect
Mohsen
Foroughi
and
is
inspired
by
the Chehel
Sotoun with
a
fusion
of
old
and
new
architectural
elements.
Around
the
tomb
on
the
walls
are
seven
verses
of
Saadi’s
poems.
