 A Persian means a group of caravan travelers orin merchants banded together and organized for mutual assistance and defense while traveling through unsettled or hostile country countr y.

Secular tombs fall into two clearly marked architectural categories -the domed mausoleum and the tomb tower. The former has certain anities  with the larger larger shrine. It is frequently octagonal rising through squinches and galleries into a circular dome. It is built for show, inside and out. meant to be  visited. the last resting place place of a chieftain who may have have had no claim to sainthood, but expected to be duly revered when he was dead. Tomb towers,  which are are mainly conned to northern Iran. were conceiv conceived ed in a dierent spirit. They were gaunt, remote, solitary resting places, not meant to be frequented by admirers in generations to come.

Nearly every town in Iran has its quota of shrines, and the village or wayside shrines are a recurring feature of the Iranian landscape. In general they are modest, circular circular,, four-sided or octagonal buildings, surmounted by a cone or dome. Many have charm but no great architectural merit; the famous shrines, rambling structures which have received additions from generations of the devout, are among the most splendid, and in some cases the most opulent, buildings in Iran. The lesser shrines, unlike the mosques, have a distinct re2jonal character.

From Cordoba to Delhi, from Sarajevo to the Niger, the mosque (masjid in Persian and Arabic) or house of prayer is the outstanding outstanding symbol of Islam, the focus of worship, and contemplation, the meeting place of man with man, and of man with God. Its forms are more varied and its uses more widespread widespread than those of the Christian cathedral or church. While primarily a place of worship, it is also an assembly hall, often a religious college, college, sometimes a court of .justice, even, to some extent, a poor p oor man's club.

Minarets:  1The earliest minarets square, at least in theirwere lower stories, but few of these survive in Iran today . The round minaret originated in north-east Iran and was built of brick, tapering towards the summit. Until at least the thirteenth century, minarets  were almost invaria invariably bly single and placed in the north comer of the mosque. Since the fteenth century minarets have generally been covered with mosaic or colored tiles, in the taste of the period. In general, Iran, compared with, say, Turkey; Turkey; is markedly decient in minarets. Only at Esfahan do they occupy a prominent place in the landscape
