Sultaniyya, in northwestern Iran near Zanjan, was built by the Ilkhanid ruler Oljaitu in the early 14th century as his capital; its great domed mausoleum (completed c. 1312) is one of the masterpieces of Persian Islamic architecture. The theologian al-Allama al-Hilli (d. 1325) was attached to Oljaitu's court there.
