On ibn Ali's shrine

On ibn Ali's shrine is a shrine over Eynali mountain to north of Tabriz, Iran.

The shrine is located at top of one of peaks that looks to Tabriz.

Some historians believe the shrine belongs to two Muslim clerics. Others believe the building originally was a Zoroasterian temple and the shrine's Islamic name was just a cover to protect the structure from destruction during the Muslim invasion.
