Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine, Religious mausoleum in Ray, Iran
The Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine features an 8-meter square sanctuary that transforms into an eighteen-sided structure topped with a traditional Persian dome.
The initial structure dates from the 10th century under Buyid rulers, with subsequent expansions during the Ilkhanid, Safavid, and Qajar architectural periods.
The shrine contains the tomb of Abdul Adhim ibn Abdillah al-Hasani, a fifth-generation descendant of Hasan ibn Ali and companion of Muhammad al-Taqi.
Located at the end of Boulevard Aramgah in Shahr-e Ray at 1059 meters elevation, the shrine remains open to visitors twenty-four hours daily.
The complex includes a museum displaying artifacts from the 4th millennium BC, plus historical books and inscriptions from different Persian periods.
