The mausoleum was constructed in 1958 in honor of the founder of classic Tajik poetry, a famous poet Abu-Abdullo Rudaki. This paradox was due to ambiguous facts surrounding Rudaki’s biography that left his tomb undiscovered. Some of his life facts, well-known to public are that Rudaki lived at the edge of 9 century and the beginning of 10 century under the reign of Samanids’ Dynasty. It is also known that Rudaki passed away in 941 A.D. in his native village Panjrud spending the last days of his lifetime in poverty. According to some written ancient testimonials, Rudaki passed away blinded.
