Imamzadeh Habib ibn Musa

The Imamzadeh Habib ibn Musa is a mausoleum in Kashan with a central dome and walls covered in Persian tiles. The structure holds the graves of two figures from Islamic history and displays crafted details in every corner.

The mausoleum began in the 12th century and was changed over time. The main changes happened in the 13th century and later during the Safavid period in the 17th century, when new elements were added.

The decoration tells a story of Persian craftsmanship from different periods in history. Visitors can see how the tilework and patterns fill the space with color and geometry that changes as you move through the rooms.

The mausoleum sits near Kashan Bazaar and is easy to reach from the street. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and be prepared to remove their shoes before entering.

The sacred site protects a notable treasure in its inner spaces, including a historic wooden door with security grills beneath the dome. These careful details show how important the place remains for believers today.
