Tomb of Esther and Mordechai

Iran

The Tomb of Esther and Mordechai (Aramgah-e Ester va Murduxay, Qever Estēr v'Mórdǝḵay, Yest'eri yev Murt'k'ev t'angarany) is a tomb located in Hamadan, Iran. Iranian Jews and Iranian Christians believe it houses the remains of the biblical Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai, and it is the most important pilgrimage site for Jews and Christians in Iran. There is no mention of it in either the Babylonian or Jerusalem Talmud, and the Iranian Jewish tradition has not been supported by Jews beyond Iran.
