Imamzadeh Hamzeh Reza

🕰️When was it built?

The shrine is attributed to the Ghaznavid and Ilkhanid periods, although its exact construction date is unclear. It joined Iran's National Heritage List on 12 April 1967 as number 704. The nearby Timurid Chahar Taqi is a separate monument.

🏛️What was it built for?

The complex is used for pilgrimage and religious gatherings. In past years, daily Quran recitation has been held here during Ramadan.

👀What you will see

• The historic Hamzeh Reza shrine and the Chahar Taqi to its north-east: two separate buildings seen side by side.
• The Chahar Taqi beside the shrine is built of mud brick and brick; view its structure separately from the shrine building.

🎒Good to know before you go

• Ask separately about access to the shrine and the Chahar Taqi before going.
• Respect the quiet during pilgrimage and prayers, and ask permission before photographing pilgrims.
