  • The tomb of the deceiver Khomeini.This is the place where people are unwillingly bused there to show their "appreciation" of his handy work.But the people know the truth that under the previous Shah Iran prospered and had a very bright future ahead.
  • Something between mausoleum and palace.Impresive building,no doubt!!
