Imamzadeh Husayn

Iran

The Imamzadeh Hossein (Emamzadeh-ye Hossein) is an imamzadeh, mausoleum and mosque complex, located in Qazvin, Iran. The funerary complex contains the grave of Hossein, son of the 8th Imam Ali al-Rida ("Hazrat-e Reza"). Built initially during the Ilkhanate period, the complex was extensively renovated by Shah Tahmasp I in the 17th century, during the Safavid era. The complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 7 December 1935, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. The complex is one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam and is a major pilgrimage center.
