The Nadir Shah Mausoleum in khorasan  province

Located in Azadi street is a curious piece of architecture completed more than three decades ago, consisting in a heavy slab of concrete which forms a crypt and of a colossal bronze group representing soldiers led to battle by a sort of an equestrian commander on horseback bearing a turban and a large ax (Nadir Shah). Two small museums have been set up nearby: Nadir Shah souvenirs, mainly 18th and 19th century weapons, and bronze objects unearthed during excavations in the region.
