After exploring the many levels and barrel-vaulted passages of
Takhte e Soleyman, we continued on our way to Qasvin, stopping to climb around the
various levels of the ethereal blue interior of the massive Soltaniyeh Dome at
Zanjan.
Interior undergoing renovation
of all levels.
This building, the oldest double-shell dome in the world, is a key monument
in the history of Islamic architecture.
