Imamzadeh Ismail

Isfahan Province, Iran

The Imamzadeh Ismail and Shayah Mosque is a Twelver Shi'ite imamzadeh, mausoleum, and mosque complex, located in Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran, which dates from both the Seljuk and Safavid periods. The complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 6 January 1932, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran. The original structure was a pre-Islamic building that was converted into a mosque during the Rashidun conquest of Persia. During the Seljuk period, the mosque became known as Shayah Mosque. After the Safavids had taken over Persia, they added a sahn to the structure, and built the imamzadeh.
