Reza Shah's mausoleum

Reza Shah's mausoleum

Reza Shah's Mausoleum, located in Ray south of Tehran, was the burial ground of Reza Shah, the penultimate king of Iran.

In the early days of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Reza Shah's mausoleum was destroyed by bulldozers and dynamite under the direction of Ayatollah Sadeq Khalkhali; the act was approved by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. In his memoires, Khalkhali describes how difficult it was to destroy the building. Reportedly, Khalkhali also tried to bulldoze Ferdowsi's tomb in Tous and Persepolis,Fact|date=July 2008 before the provisional government stopped him.

The ground is now used as a Islamic religious school.
