The Karim Khan citadel, built in about 1766. In the 20th century it was used as a prison,
and none of the original inside remains. Subsidence has given one of the corner towers a definite lean.
Two of the most famous poets in Persian were born in Shiraz: Saadi (1210-1291) and Hafez (1315-1390).
The memorials to them are modern (20th century).
