Ribat of Sharaf
The Ribat of Sharaf (Persian: رباط شرف, lit. 'Robat-i Sharaf or Robat-e Sharaf') is a historical ribat, or rest place for travellers, located in Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran, between Merv and Nishapur. Built in the 12th century (circa 1114), the building looks like a fortified rectangle from the exterior.[1] The courtyard and four-iwan floorplan is that of the traditional standard Iranian mosque.
