Attractions

[edit]

Pir Bakran is named after Muhammad ibn Bakran, a wali who died in 1303 and whose dargah was built by the Ilkhanate and completed in 1312.[11] The iwan was initially constructed to serve as his classroom, but was incomplete when he died. The structure was later modified to function as his mausoleum.

The ancient Jewish cemetery of Esfahan is situated close to this complex. It contains tombs inscribed from the 2nd century. The major mausoleum contains the tomb attributed to the biblical person Serah bat Asher. For Jews, this is a place of pilgrimage.
