Shebeli Tower
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2015) |
Shebeli Tower is a historical tower in Damavand, a city situated in the Tehran province of Iran.
Standing approximately 10 metres (33 ft) tall, the structure is a roofed octagonal monument apparently dedicated to Abu Bakr al-Shibli, a Sufi mystic and governor of Damavand.[1] A sirdāb (basement) also exists under the structure.[2]
The structure is a remnant of the Samanid era, dating it to the 12th century at the latest. Shebeli Tower is similar in design to extant structures in Bukhara.[3]
The structure recently underwent some preservations.[when?]
