Jabalieh Dome; An Ancient Stone Building Made with Camel Milk

The dome, a place of historical importance in Iran, has been constructed of stone and brick, though the building is of stone and gypsum, and its architectural affects have been inspired from the Sassanid period.

The dome, which is one of the most spectacular ones in Kerman, has survived without any fence around it. Some scholars say Jabalieh was built as an observatory, but others believe the dome was an important tomb.

Some European scholars say this dome belongs to the Seljuks, but it is mostly believed that it was built in the second century BCE.
