Sūnqūr

Sonqor lies in the mountainous country northeast of Kermanshah. On a hill in the town stands the octagonal tomb known as the Malek shrine. Its lower chamber is built of dressed stone, while the upper tower and dome are of brick. Pointed arches and patterned brickwork ornament its sides, with touches of turquoise tile. The identity of the person commemorated by the tomb has been remembered in different ways by local tradition.
