Recognizing Monuments of Timurid Dynasty in Cultural Area of Fars

Abstract

Between 1282-1374 Hijri, two local dynasties including Injuids (1276-1331) and Al Mozafar (1286-1368) were ruling on Fars, Kerman and Isfahan and selected Shiraz as the capital. These two dynasties intended to maintain Iran’s tribe identification against Mogul invaders, managed to spend effort on promoting, artistic and national identification. Therefore, some descendants of these dynasties began to establish buildings and monuments. In this paper, the mausoleum and different projects built by Soltan Bakht agha (a pioneer in building and developing different projects in Dar dasht in Isfahan) were discussed and analyzed.
