Imamzadeh Husayn, Mausoleum and pilgrimage site in Qazvin Central District, Iran
The shrine features a central dome adorned with Persian blue tiles, six minarets at the entrance, and multiple courtyards surrounded by decorated iwans.
Built during the Safavid period around the tomb of Imamzadeh Husayn, son of the eighth Shia imam Ali ibn Musa al-Reza, this shrine expanded through subsequent dynasties.
The mausoleum contains wooden latticed doors from 1560, mirror mosaics, and intricate calligraphy inscriptions covering the interior dome's surface.
The complex maintains separate entrances for men and women, includes a public fountain, and houses a kitchen that distributes food for charitable purposes.
The shrine contains a precious wooden chest donated by Shah Tahmasb Safavi's daughter Zinat Beigom in 1630 to cover the tomb chamber.
