Segonbad

Segonbad (Persian: سه‌گنبد; Azerbaijani: اوچ گونبز; "Three Gonbads") is a historical structure located in the town of Urmia, in northwest Iran. The monument has three inscriptions in the Kufic script placed on the entrance door. Segonbad is a remnant of the Seljuk period. [1]

Building

The current building has two floors and there are vents on all four sides. The first floor is called the crypt, which has an arched cover and is thus separated from the second floor.
