The city of Aligoudarz in Lorestan Province is home to an ancient cemetery where stone lion busts are used as tombstones.
Use of lion tombstones is a Bakhtiari tradition, a tribute built for the great tribesmen of the area.
According to local people, some of the graves date back to four hundred years ago.
