The project was commissioned by the local ruler, Oljeitu, and it is considered by historians as a prime example of the architectural style pioneered in the Il-Khanid dynasty. The dome has a diameter of approximately 25 meters and reaches a height of 49 meters. The double shelled dome rests on a vertical drum which is supported on an octagonal base with a series of pointed arches and detailed muqarnas. 8 short minarets are radially arrayed around the dome. The dome is constructed entirely out of herringbone-patterned brick with no wooden or iron tension rings. A layer of thin decorative tile adorns the outside of the dome. For the past half-century, the dome has received intensive renovation work after centuries of disrepair. Figure 1: The Soltaniyeh dome as seen in 2011 after modern reconstruction efforts on the dome.
