Located 2.5 kilometers south of the city of Soltaniyeh, Mullah Hassan Kashi Mausoleum is an octagonal structure with a beautiful dome that sits on a square dome chamber. Inscriptions in the mausoleum suggest it was built towards the end of the rule of Safavid King Shah Tahmasp (1514-1576). This double-shell dome has tilework decorations, geometrical motifs and Kufic inscriptions. Brick and turquoise have been used to create parallel line decorations on the dome. The stucco Muqarnas (ornamented vaulting) decorations inside the structure were added during the reign of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (1772–1834). The underdome has Nastaleeq inscriptions and documents the names of its Qajar era renovators and architects. The mausoleum was previously enclosed by a stone wall.
