Hassan Modarres Mausoleum, Mausoleum in Kashmar, Iran

The mausoleum features a central turquoise dome with four iwans, displaying architectural elements from both modern and Safavid periods through its brick construction.

Following the assassination of Hassan Modarres in 1937, the mausoleum was constructed in 1943 after Reza Shah Pahlavi's removal from power.

The structure serves as both a memorial and a shrine, reflecting the deep connection between religious leadership and political reform in Iranian society.

Visitors can access the mausoleum's library to study materials about Hassan Modarres while exploring the burial chamber located beneath the main dome.

The structure underwent major renovations in 1988, transforming from a small building within a garden into its current form with four distinct entrances.
