Rich man's final home

Behesht-e Zahra (The Paradise of Zahara), is the largest cemetery in Iran. Located in the southern part of metropolitan Tehran, it is connected to the city by metro line No. 1. The cemetery has been one of the inspirations for the popular webcomic, Zahra's Paradise.
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 Teheran towards the direction of the city of Qom and opened in 1970. The first person that buried in Behesht-e Zahra was Mohammad-Taghi Khial. The graveyard was the first place where Ayatollah Khomeini visited soon after his return to Iran on 1 February 1979 to honor the people who had been killed by the ousted Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's forces.
Many of the deceased soldiers of the Iran–Iraq War were buried in the martyr's section of the graveyard.
