Resket Tower

The Resket Tower (Persian: برج رسکت; also spelled Resget) is a monument in Sari, Iran. The tower was constructed in the 11th-century. A stucco is written on the entrance, in Arabic and Pahlavi, which states that the mausoleum was built for the two Bavandid princes Hormozdiyar and Habusiyar. The person behind the construction of the tower was most likely the father of the two princes, named Masdara.
