Allah Allah Dome, also known as Gonbad-e Kabud, is located in the old cemetery of Kabud Gonbad village, in the Kharvana district of Gonbad-e Kavus. The mausoleum has a circular plan with a diameter of 75.4 meters. The building consists of two floors, including a basement and the first floor. The domes of the upper floor are made of stone and the body of the building is made of red rectangular bricks, with the words "Allah Allah" decorated with turquoise tiles. The inscriptions and Islamic motifs on the four sides of doors on the first floor are decorated with mosaic tiles. Based on the brickwork and the decorations of the Asma-ul-Husna, the building of the tower can be attributed to the late Ilkhanate to Safavid periods in Azerbaijan. The prominent feature of the mausoleum tower is the lack of remaining inscriptions and dates. The combination of turquoise tiles and bricks in the body of the building, which has made it famous as Gonbad-e Kabud, has given it a unique beauty. The words on the body of the building are "Allah" and "Mohammad". This monument was registered as one of Iran's national treasures with registration number 2515 on December 22, 1999.
