Borj-e Qorban

Located in the eastern part of the hamadan city, the Borj-e Qorban (Qorban Dome) is a twelve- sided brick tower and a place of pilgrimage, and said to contain the grave of Hafez Abol Ala of Hamadan ( 12th century AD). The tombstone inside the dome is from the Safavid period, but the building itself with its pyramidal cupola cannot be attributed to periods later than the 13th century.
Apparently, there is no relation between the tombstone and the main building that is a plain brick structure without any inscriptions. stuccoes and adornments.
