Tomb of Baba Qasim

Description

The Imamzadeh Baba Qasim is almost contemporaneous with the Imamzadeh Ja’far. This building, dated 1340, has again been heavily restored, to the point where a complete new and incongruous architectural element has been added viz. the modern tent dome that now sits atop the tomb chamber. -SK
