Most cities of the Province
especially Hamedan, Nahavand and Toyserkan
are very ancient. Herodot,
Greek historian Called Hamedan as Ekbatan and said that
Diaeco (founder of Median dynasty) has built it.
Achamenidae called Hamedan Hegmataneh (place to
assemble) and chose it as their capital. As you read in
history of Iran, Hamedan was the first capital of the
first government in Iran. Archeological excavations in
Gyan Hill (Nahavand), site of Habakuk the Prophet and
his immigration to Tuyserkan (about 700 BC), Babakamal
historical hill in Tuyserkan, Nooshijan historical hill
near Malayer show the antiquity of these three cities.

Council of Architecture&
Urbanism meeting,This city has

cultural cities of the country.
Emamzadeh Hossein (Shahzadeh Hossein)(P.B.U.H.)
A emamzadch Hossein
mausoleum, known as
Shahzadeh Hossein, is
located at the beginning
of Shohada Street, Imam
Khomeini Square. It was
not long ago that people
believed he was
descendant from Imam
Hasan Mojtaba (P.B.U.H)
by seven generations,
but in a book titled "A
survey on Hamedan
Emamzadehs" compiled by
late Haj Sheikh Hossein
Andalibzadeh, we read
"according to emphasis
of some historians and
genealogists about the
burial of his Excellency
Hossein Ibne Ali AI-Naghi
(P.B.U.H.) in Hamedan,
public opinion and not
denial of experts and
based on the old
documents in the tomb
that refers to the owner
as "The honorable and
great Hossein Ibn-e Ali
AI-Naghi", we are sure
that this mausoleum
belongs 10 him. So, be
is son of Imam Ali Al-Naghi
(P.B.V.H.) brother of
Imam Hasan Asgari (P.B.U.H.)
and uncle of Imam Mahdi
(P.B.V.H.).
In addition, some or the scientists and
learned people and his contemporary
governors’ relatives are buried there.
for example "Abagha Khan; son of Mongol
Holaco, Shah Soltan Hossein's head, and
one of the grand children of Khajeh
Nasir AI-Din Tousi.
Old documents and writings of this
shrine determine the historical and
graceful record of it in the public
opinion.
When it was conformed that he is son of
Imam Ali Al-Naghi (P.B.U.H) the public
attachment and fondness increased.

impoJ1anr development plans for it.
