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.
