Behesht-e Zahra (Persian : بهشت زهرا , lit. The Paradise of Zahra , from Fatima az-Zahra ) is the largest cemetery in Iran . Located in the southern part of metropolitan Tehran ,[1] Tehran Metro Line 1 .
History
[ edit ]
In the early 1950s, all the cemeteries in Tehran were supposed to be replaced by several large new ones outside the then precincts of the capital. Behesht-e Zahra was built in late 1960s on the southern side of Tehran towards the direction of the city of Qom and opened on 29 June 1970 by mayor of Tehran, Gholamreza Nikpey .
Many of the deceased soldiers of the Iran–Iraq War were buried in the martyr's section of the graveyard.[2] [3]
