Salaam,
Before leaving for Tehran on the last day of our Hamedan tour, we managed to visit a few more places and historical sites of interest in and around the city. Our first stop in the morning was the Gonbad-e-Alavian or Tomb of Alavian located in the vicinity of Eyn-ol-Qozat Square. It is a four-sided structure 12th century mausoleum dating back to the Seljuk period, containing tombs of two members of the Alavian family which ruled Hamedan for two centuries.
Next stop was the Jewish synagogue and tombs of Esther and Mordekhai, the Ganjnameh waterfalls, Hegmataneh archaeological palace, old city and museum and Avicenna mausoleum all of which I have already visited in my previous trip. A new addition to our itinerary was a visit to the Museum of War located along the way to Ganjnameh (it will be posted in my next and last edition of the Hamedan series).
Wassalam.
