Encyclopedic overview

The vast Haruniyeh Dome in Tus. Some say it is the tomb of Ghazali, but this is disputed.

Tus (Persian: توس, romanized: Tūs) is an ancient city in Khorasan near Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. To the ancient Greeks, it was known as Susia (Ancient Greek: Σούσια). It was also known as Tusa. Tus was divided into four cities, Tabran, Radakan, Noan and Teroid, which in combination formed largest city in the region in the fifth century.
