Isfahan hosts the second-most important cemetery of the Shi'a world, the place in which the dead bodies of many great figures from the past, like Mir Fendereski, Sardar Asaad, Banu Amin, and Baba Roknoldin, and famous people of the present time, like Hossein Kharazi, and thousands of martyrs of the Holy Defense era are laid down.

Iran (IMNA) – The most important old historical cemetery in the world of Islam is located in the southwest of Isfahan, with an area of 75 hectares. Takht-e Foulad (Steel Throne), which dates back to the 4th century A.H., is of great importance due to the fact that it is the place where many great figures from the pre-Islamic period to the Islamic Revolution era and the imposed war martyrs are settled down.

The historical zone includes different mausoleums; each of them is the burial site of a figure. Mausoleums may belong to an ethnic group, sometimes to people who lived in a neighborhood, or even to religious minorities. Takht-e Foulad cemetery in Isfahan is actually made up of mausoleums that have come together; some of them have been destroyed over the years, and many of them have been repaired.
