The Emamzadeh Hashem Shrine (Persian: امامزاده هاشم; Arabic: مرقد هاشم), also known as the Imamzade Hashem and the Imamzadeh Hashem (Haraz Road) (Persian: امامزاده هاشم (جاده هراز)), is a Shi'ite imamzadeh and shrine complex, located in the district of Damavand, in Damavand county, in the province of Mazandaran (adjacent to the boundary with the Tehran Province), in Iran.
Overview
[edit]The shrine is located in the northwest of Haraz Road, on the way from Tehran to Amol, almost at the summit of a mountain called Imam Zadeh Hashem Pass; at an elevation of 2,750 metres (9,020 ft) AMSL.
According to history, Imamzadeh Hashem is a descendant of Imam Hassan Mojtaba. According to the evidence, there used to be a caravanserai next to this tomb, which has been destroyed in recent years.[when?] Maxime Siroux wrote about that caravanserai in his book, Caravanserails d'Iran.
The complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 14 March 1967, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.[2]
