Imamzadeh Yahya Hamadan

Imamzadeh Yahya

The owner of the tomb is believed to be Yahya ibn Ali ibn Hussein ibn Harun al-Qatta ibn Hussein ibn Muhammad ibn Harun ibn Muhammad ibn Qasim ibn Hasan ibn Zayd ibn Hasan al-Mujtaba (a), however, there is no definitive document or evidence to prove this. Considering the decorations of the building, it seems this structure dates from the 8th to 10th centuries AH, and its portico was added around it during the Safavid era. The courtyard walls and the creation of niches in the walls and mirror work were done during the Qajar period. Despite uncertainties about the identity of the tomb owner, Imamzadeh Yahya of Hamadan is among the religious and historical sites of Hamadan city that is respected and attended by many people.
