MAUSOLEUM OF OMAR KHAYYÂM

A monument erected in tribute to one of the greatest Persian poets, writers and scholars. In the heart of a vast and delicious park, the Omar tombstone (1048-1125), very sober, contrasts with the modern structure of 1934, overcoming it. Note on the outside the quelques of the great poet, mathematician and astronomer from Nishapur. His existential anguish led him to celebrate the immediate enjoyment of life in his poems. " This celestial vault under which we break, I'm comparing it with a magic lantern whose sun is the lamp. And the world is the curtain where our images go. " - Omar Khayyâm, Rubayat. This monument is adjacent to a small mausoleum, surmounted by a dome dating back to the th century, which houses a descendant of the Prophet, the martyr Mahruq, who was condemned at the time for heresy and burnt alive. You can also enjoy the tea house in the heart of the park.
