Tomb of Hassan Modarres

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.

[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.

[4][3] Following the Iranian revolution, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini, restored the mausoleum, and gave it an extensive rebuild.

[4][3] 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.
