Imāmzādeh Hamzah (Persian: امامزاده سيد حمزه) is an Imamzadeh mosque complex in Tabrīz, Iran. The mosque contains the grave of Hamzah, son of the Twelver Shī‘ah Imām, Mūsā al-Kāzim.

Location

The Imāmzādeh Hamzah mosque is located in the Sheshghelan suburb of Tabrīz next to Maqbaratoshoara and the Museum of Ostad Bohtouni.

History

Sayyid Abi al-Qasim Hamzah is a son of Imam Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kazim who is credited for the genealogy of the Saffavids. Hence, the Imāmzādeh Hamzah is a "de facto ancestral cemetery". Thus, it strengthens the notability of its link to the mosque in Ardabil where the elite Saffavids have been buried. The style of decoration of the Hamzah Mosque is further enhanced and has therefore enjoyed sustained patronage.

Description

The exquisite mausoleum dates back to the 14th century (8th century AH), with influence from the Safavid and Qajar dynasties and is thus a pilgrimage centre.
