Habib Ibn Musa Kashan & Imamzadeh Yahya

Imamzade Habib ibn Musa - kashan

Imamzade Habib was son of Musa al-Kazim, his shrine is located off Imam Khomeini St and it is very close to the Kashan Bazaar in Iran. There was very little information about this site on the internet or in the travel guides. The grave is built in the middle of the dome and it is surrounded by well adorned walls.

The Mausoleum of Shah Abbas I is also located inside the same building. He was the 5th Safavid king and he is considered among the greatest rulers of the Safavid dynasty. He is also known as Shah Abbas the Great, he died on 19 January 1629 and was buried in Kashan.

Imamzade Yahya and Hassan - Abyaneh

The mausoleum of Imamzade Yahya and Hassan is located inside a small village called Abyaneh. The wooden structure which encased the grave was simpler than the other graves of the Imamzadehs I had visited.

Beside the shrine of Imamzadeh, there were some photos to commemorate the Iranian people who died in Iran-Iraq War.
