Sahneh Rock Cut Tombs
Sahneh Rock Cut Tombs submitted by DrewParsons : The second rock cut tomb located above the tea stall in the park. There is a long steep trail to this tomb. April 2014. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Two rock cut tombs in a park to the north of Sahneh town in Iran. The two tombs, named locally after Farhad and Shirin a pair of legendary lovers, are located in the cliffs above a park north of Sahneh township which is on the road from Kangavar to Kermanshah. The tombs are thought to date to the fourth century BC

The coordinates given are for the car park and locals can point out the location of the tombs cut high into the rock face above the park. There is a steep trail up to one tomb accessed from the bridge across the stream by the car park, alternatively you can drive further up the road from the bridge to reach a small area where you can park and then walk 50 metres to the foot of the cliff where one of the tombs is located. The other tomb is above the tea stalls in the park and less easily accessible.
