The grave of Ferdowsi, the great Iranian epic poet, is located in the city of Tus (Tos) in Razavi Khorasan province of Iran.  Ferdowsi's tomb is located in the middle of a beautiful garden and is built in the form of a magnificent and historical building, which is considered one of the important tourist attractions in Iran. 

 Ferdowsi Mausoleum was built during the first Pahlavi era, with the efforts of the Iranian National Antiquities Association and the design of the prominent architect Hossein Larzadeh.  This building was designed in the architectural style of the Achaemenid period and was inspired by the tomb of Cyrus the Great in Pasargad. 

 Inside this tomb, statues of Ferdowsi and scenes from Shahnameh are depicted, which add to the beauty and glory of this place.  There is also a library next to the tomb dedicated to works and studies related to Ferdowsi and Shahnameh.
