The subject of the end of Shams Tabrizi’s career has attracted researchers for a long time. In recent decades, it has also attracted the attention of international cultural societies. Since different locations have been proposed as the tomb of Shams Tabrizi through the years, so how to analyze the attribution of these locations to Shams Tabrizi could be considered an issue. Regarding the cultural and tourism importance of the Shams Tabrizi tomb at the national and international levels, determining the location of this tomb is the goal of this study. Therefore, the main question is: which of the attributed sites to Shams Tabrizi is really his tomb? In doing so, the suggestion that “the minaret” of Shams in Khoy belongs to the tomb of Shams Tabrizi was examined. In order to answer this question and test the supposition, the historical documents related to the tombs attributed to Shams Tabrizi were subjected to qualitative content analysis. The analysis of the first-hand documents obtained from domestic and foreign sources, especially Ottoman sources, makes the location of Shams Tabrizi’s tomb in Khoy acceptable and confirms the suggestion of the study. Analytical examination of the minarets drawn by Metraqchi showed that the architecture of the third minaret is different from the minarets on both sides of the dome of the Shams’ Tomb. The textual and semantic analysis of the discourse of public culture, including the creation of works of art, the use of holy expressions, local names, and the endowment of the proceeds of public places, showed the spiritual position of the personality and tomb of Shams Tabrizi. Determining the location of Shams Tabrizi’s tomb, analyzing its architectural features and determining the spiritual position of Shams Tabrizi is the final achievement of this study.

Geographical and political position of Khoy, one of the most ancient and eventful cities in the northwest of Iran, has brought this city to be considered important by the kings and local rulers. Moreover, on account of having suitable climate and fertile soil, Khoy has been appropriate for constructing governmental and private gardens, including Shah Ismail Safavid Royal Garden and its nearby places, documents of which have been cited in the historical sources. The research method was based on the collection of documents, maps and historical resources and their correspondence with the findings of field and library studies. In the first stage, the location of Khoy in historical times from Safavid period to present day is restored based on existing maps. Then architectural features and the recovery of different parts of Royal Garden and its nearby spaces including Maydan-e-Shahi (King’s Square) and Shams Tabrizi Minarets were noted. The core of this study focuses on correspondence between features of these spaces with documents, maps and historical resources, including Metraqchi’s miniature, Francesco Romano’s travelogue, Pascal Cost’s drawing map and extraction of new findings. It has been attempted to determine the plans and the positions of Royal Garden Buildings, Maydan-e-Shahi and tomb of Shams Tabrizi in the current city through graphical reconstruction and corresponding with existing maps. In addition, according to James Morier’s report and painting, and Field and Library Studies, architectural features of Shams Tabrizi Minaret and osteology of the skulls used in it were examined and the way of planting the skulls and biometric features were determined. These findings corrected some existing historical reports. Overall findings of this study provide a clear image of the relocation of Khoy in the last 500 years, position of Royal Garden, architecture of Safavid governmental palace and features of Shams Tabrizi Minarets in early Safavid period.

Khoy plain is one of the cultural zones of northwest of Iran. It is located in the communication boundary that leads to the basin of Lake Urmia, on the other hand to the South Caucasus region and to the east to the east of Anatolia, Strategically, especially for prehistoric societies, it is important in research related to the formation of early societies. The archaeological explorations of the region show that the oldest history of habitation in the area dates back to the Neolithic period. In this regard, the Duzdaqi area is a multi-period site whose archaeological deposits belong to the Neolithic period, the rocky copper, the bronze, and the Iron Age. This area with an area of more than 16 hectares and 24 meters high from the fertile ground around it, is the tallest prehistoric area of the plain, which is located along the permanent river GhoduKh Boqan and the fountains and beautiful wetlands around it. Due to its location on the route of the Iranian plateau to Anatolia, as well as on the important trade highway from Khorasan highway (Silk Road), Duzdaqi has enjoyed a privileged position for commercial and cultural exchanges. Evidence of this is the existence of a salt mine as an export commodity in this area, as well as the utility of the goods (imported goods) in seven different types. In this area, the earliest human community has been formed, and inventions, innovations and innovations in the agricultural, livestock and tooling industries and trade with neighboring regions have evolved and over time have led to advanced civilizations. The speculation project on the designation of the arena and privacy of the Duzdaqi area in the spring of 1395 with the goal of protecting as much as possible, the recognition of the scope of historical works around this work, the determination of the field and the development of a map of the area of the site was carried out. In order to determine the arena and privacy of this ancient site, a total of 24 boreholes in the size of 1.5 × 1.5 m were drilled. The apparent area of the enclosure is an area of 11 hectares, the results of which suggested that its actual realm was more than 16 hectares, due to the erosion of the wind in it, the invasion of gardeners and farmers, as well as the sand plant, a large part of this dam area and flattened. This essay describes the speculative operations and the cultural materials obtained from speculation.
