Al-Tall Al-Zaynabiyya

Al-Tall Al-Zaynabiyya (Arabic: التل الزینبیة) is the name of a Shi'a Islamic holy place in Karbala, Iraq.

[1][2][3] It overlooks the site of the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, who was killed during the Battle of Karbala on the day of Ashura.

[4] During the Battle of Karbala, Ali ibn Abi Talib's daughter and Husayn's sister (Zaynab) went to Tall Zaynabiyya to stay informed about the status of Ali ibn Abi Talib's son, Husayn ibn Ali.

The site was built like a room with access to a few stages and has a dome with blue tiles.

[7] In Arabic, the word tall (Arabic: تل) means a projection of soil or sand on the ground,[8] and the word zaynabiyya is related to Zaynab, Ali ibn Abi Talib's daughter.
