Shebeli Tower
Shebeli Tower is a historical tower in Damavand, in Tehran Province of Iran.

The brickwork recalls Seljuq craftsmanship

The tomb is located on top of a hill adjacent to Damavand
Standing approximately 10 metres (33 ft) tall, the structure is a roofed octagon tomb of Sheikh Shebeli, a Sufi mystic. A sardāb (basement) also exists under the structure.[1]
The structure is a remnant of the Samanid era, making it from the 12th century, at the latest, and is similar in design to extant structures in Bukhara. [2]
The structure recently underwent some preservations.
