Green Dome in Hamedan

Alavid Dome is also known as Gunbad E Alavian or Tomb of Alavian or Mosque of Alavian located in Hamedan, Iran. We know why its name is related to Alavid because two family members of Alavi family are buried here in Saljuq period. On the other hand, the great attachment of the people to "Sadat" (descendents of the prophet MohammadPBUH) and their belief in Imam Ali (P.B.U.H.) are the other reasons. Its structure is four sided and worked artistically with plaster. On the exterior, it resembles the Gonbad-e Sorkh of Maragheh. The tombs are situated under the domed ceiling of the cellar and worked in blue tiles. The entrance to this dome is also much attractive. It was also called Green Dome referred by a poet Khaqani.Unfortunately, the identities of the persons who have been buried there arc not clear. This monument IS one of the post-Islamic masterpieces of architecture and Stucco in Hamedan. It has been registered as an Iranian National and Historical monument No 93, dated 1931.1.4.
