The Tomb of Sayyid Hassan Modarres (Persian: آرامگاه سید حسن مدرس) is located in Kashmar, Iran. It is the burial site of Sayyid Hassan Modarres, a prominent Shi'ite cleric who formerly served as a cabinet representative of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. He was assassinated in 1937, and the mausoleum was built over his grave in 1943 following the overthrow of Reza Shah Pahlavi.[1]

## History

[edit]

The mausoleum was built in 1943, after the death of Hassan Modarres in 1937, who was poisoned and then died of suffocation. [2][3] 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.[4][3] Then in 1963, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini, restored the mausoleum, and gave it an extensive rebuild.[4][3]

## Architecture

[edit]

The main entrance to the mausoleum

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.[4][3] The present mausoleum was built in the Safavid architectural style.[4][3] 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.[4][3]

The grave of Hassan Modarres is located underneath the dome of the mausoleum.[3][4]
