The Mausoleum of Mir Bozorg (Persian: مشهد میربزرگ), also known as the Mir Bozorg Marashi Tomb, and the Mashhad Mir Bozorg, is a mausoleum and imamzadeh complex located in Sabzeh Meydan Square, Amol, in the province of Mazandaran, Iran. The mausoleum was dedicated to the founder of the reign Marashis, Qavam al-Din Marashi, also known as Mir-i Buzurg. The mausoleum was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 6 January 1932 and is administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
Overview The complex was built on the site of an 8th-century AH (14th-century CE) structure that was commissioned by Iskandar-i Shaykhi, during the Timurid era, and was demolished in 795 AH (1392/1393 CE). Abbas the Great commissioned the current structure, with a square floorpan, in 814 AH (1411/1412 CE). With the addition of a cenotaph in 1033 AH (1623/1624 CE), the current structure remains relatively unaltered; and includes a museum and a library.
