Bibi Shahrbanu Shrine(Persian:آرامگاه بیبیشهربانو) is a shrine located nearShahr-e Ray,a southern suburb ofTehran, Iran.
The oldest parts of the shrine date from the 15th century, shortly before theSafavidperiod. Researchers have discussed, if the name of the shrine and the location could point to an earlier pre-Islamic holy site, possible a sanctuary of the goddessAnahita.[1]However, because it is being utilized solely for Islamic purposes it is considered an Islamic building.
