Description
Saadi was a great Iranian poet, who lived roughly at the same time as Hafez. Both of them were from Shiraz and their tombs are located near each other. Unlike Hafez who spent most of his life in Shiraz, Saadi was constantly traveling. Two of his poem book remain: Bustan and Golestan, which contain spiritual and instructive poems. His poems are used widely in Iranian schools due to their literal simplicity. His mausoleum includes a hall with seven portals which show the stages of spiritual growth in Iranian mysticism, the tomb itself is located at the end of this hall. Next to the tomb there is an underground pool with lots of gold fish. Some people believe if you throw a coin in there while wishing and the big fish sees your coin, you wish will come true.
