The Tomb of Sayyid Hassan Modarres (Persian: آرامگاه سید حسن مدرس) is located in Kashmar, Iran. It is the burial site of Sayyid Hassan Modarres, a prominent Shi'ite cleric who formerly served as a cabinet representative of the Islamic Consultative Assembly. He was assassinated in 1937, and the mausoleum was built over his grave in 1943 following the overthrow of Reza Shah Pahlavi.[1]
