Imamzadeh Zeid Shrine, A Tehran Tourism Site
The scripts written on the antique safe kept in the mausoleum shows that the building was built in 902 A.H, a year before the rising of Shah Esmaeil Safavi.
Most of the cultural heritage experts also believe that the mausoleum was constructed even before the above-mentioned time, adding that some parts of the mausoleum belong to Qajar era.
A part of the glorious building was constructed by Fat'hali Shah and Nassereddin Shah due to great interest of Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar to the building.
The yard and external decoration of the building were renewed by the order of Kamran Mirza and the mirror works inside the building as well as the inlaid works on one of the doors of the shrine also belong to 1297-1301 A.H.
The tomb of Fat'hali Shah's daughter is also located in a room in southern part of the mausoleum, and the engraved photograph of Fat'hali khan -- son of Kamran Mirza -- is also installed on the wall of the room.
In 1939, the ministry of culture of the time renovated the main facade of the mausoleum and a school named "Hafez" was also built in the eastern yard of the building.
Since the old yard was not big enough to room the pilgrims, a small yard was also built in the southern part of the mausoleum.
In 1940, renovating the building started again by the archeology office of the time and the dome was tiled then.
Entrances of the mausoleum are from the southern part of the building at the end of cloth-seller bazaar.
