Isfahan is one of the historic cities of Iran, which was the capital of many governments at different times, and therefore, its border and territory changed during different eras. There are endless attractions in this city and because of this, they have given it the title of half of the world. One of these attractions is Takht Foulad Cemetery.
Of course, Isfahan has other famous ancient tombs; But this historical cemetery is more important in the list of attractions of this city due to its vastness and the existence of many graves of elders as well as having old buildings. In the distant past, elders had their own tomb or were buried in their own house.
So far, the exact date of Takht Foulad cemetery has not been determined, but studies show that its history goes back to before Islam. One of the graves in it belonged to Prophet Joshua, one of the Jewish prophets, which is located at the base of the tongue of the earth. According to Chardon, in the era of Dilemian, a person named Polad Bazo, who was a war chief, built a booth in this part of Isfahan, where he placed a stone slab and watched the wrestlers play from there.

Some date back the construction of the Lasan al-Arz tomb to the Dayalma period. This area has been the site of important events during the days of Dilmian and Al-Ziyar, including the famous firework display of Mordavich, son of Ziyar, in the celebration of the 323rd century, which led to his death.

Another great person who is buried in this place is the great sage Qadr Baba Foulad Halvai, whose tombstone shows the date of the fifth century. Unfortunately, no information is available on whether his nickname is derived from this place or the name of this place is derived from his name. Before and after the Safavid era, this was a place for dervishes to gather, and by the way, they also built a monastery there, which is known as Baba Ruknuddin’s mausoleum.
Takht Foulad was one of the twelve cemeteries of Isfahan during the Safavid era, and four hundred tombstones were built in it, including Baba Ruknuddin’s tombstone, Mirfenderski’s tombstone, Mirza Rafia’s tombstone, and Khatunabadi tombstone. In the same period, a street was built parallel to Chaharbagh Bala (Chaharbagh Aliai Abbasi) towards Shiraz, which passed through the takayas of Takht Foulad. The Chaharbagh around this street and the waterfalls and ponds in front of it, along with many Safavid works in this area, were completely destroyed during the Afghan conflict and also at the beginning of the reign of Muzaffaruddin Shah Qajar.
