His excellence, Sir Abdol Azim Hassani decided to immigrate to Iran because of the cruelty and injustice of the king of his time. He settled down in Shahr-e-Rey and continued a secret life. After his death, while he was being washed, a paper was found in his pocket that showed he was a descendent of the second Shia Imam. So the resident made up their mind to build a tomb for him, at first, it was very simple, but during later time, especially during Ilkhanid, his shrine was expanded and now it is really worth visiting. Shah Abdol Azim Shirne in Shahr-e-Rey is one of the oldest and most glorious constructions of Iran and is easily reachable for those who are in the capital city. The architecture of the shrine is according to the Seljuk style and there are four arched angles in the ceiling. The beautiful golden dome of Shah Abdol Azim in Shahr-e-Rey is located on top of a hexadecagon having an octagon in the middle. It is interesting to mention that all these parts are decorated with awesome mirror works that double the beauty of the shrine. In the yard of the shrine there is a cemetery that some famous Iranian characters are buried there.
