The Mausoleum of Shah Abbas I (Persian: آرامگاه شاه عباس بزرگ) is the burial place of Abbas I, the Safavid king of Persia. The mausoleum is located in Kashan, Iran. According to the dates on the mihrab of the tomb, the primary structure was built before 12th century. The structure was expanded in the Safavid era.
