Tomb Of Hassan Modarres
History
The mausoleum was built in 1943, after Hassan Modarres' death in 1937, who was poisoned and then died of suffocation. After the exile of Reza Shah Pahlavi, a new tombstone for Hassan Modarres was erected over his grave by locals in an act of honour. A building was eventually built over the grave. Following the Iranian revolution, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini, restored the mausoleum, and gave it an extensive rebuild.
Architecture
The mausoleum was formerly a small building located in the middle of a large garden, which does not exist anymore after the expansion and reconstructions. The present mausoleum was built in the Safavid architectural style. It has four iwans, one on each side, and the mausoleum is topped by a large turquoise dome. Next to the mausoleum is the library of Hassan Modarres.
The grave of Hassan Modarres is located underneath the dome of the mausoleum.
