The tomb of Seyyed Shams al-Din is located in the Chahar Minar neighborhood of Yazd. This tomb, built in the 8th century of the Islamic calendar (14th century AD), was once part of an urban complex. Although there are multiple references to this complex in historical texts, the components and original form of the complex remain unclear. This study aims to identify its components and reconstruct an image of its past form through historical texts and remaining evidence at the site. The research method is historical. First, information related to the Seyyed Shams al-Din complex in Yazd was extracted from historical texts. Then, existing documents, records, and images of the complex were gathered, and field studies were conducted at the site to document the evidence. Finally, the gathered data was compared and analyzed. The article begins by determining the location and components of the Seyyed Shams al-Din complex based on historical texts, providing a brief description of each. It then examines the current form of the complex and the transformations it has undergone, based on the remaining evidence. Ultimately, by comparing and analyzing all the available evidence, the probable form of this urban complex is revealed.
