Iranian national heritage site in Tehran, Iran
Bibi Shahrbanu Shrine (Persian: آرامگاه بیبیشهربانو) is a shrine located near Shahr-e Ray, a southern suburb of Tehran, Iran.
The oldest parts of the shrine date from the 15th century, shortly before the Safavid period. Researchers have discussed, if the name of the shrine and the location could point to an earlier pre-Islamic holy site, possible a sanctuary of the goddess Anahita.[1] However, because it is being utilized solely for Islamic purposes it is considered an Islamic building.
