List of mausoleums in Iran
This is a list of mausoleums in Iran. A mausoleum is a building constructed as a monument enclosing a grave of a person or a group of people.[1] In Iran, a mausoleum can be a standalone building, or it can be attached to a mosque or even function as one.[2] Sometimes such buildings can be known as Imamzadeh.
