The Mausoleum of Avicenna (Persian: آرامگاه بوعلی‌سینا, lit. 'Ibn Sina Mausoleum'; Arabic: ضريح ابن سين), also known as the Tomb of Abu Ali Sina, is a mausoleum and history museum complex, located at Avicenna Square, in the city of Hamadan, in the province of Hamadan, Iran. Dedicated to the Persian polymath Avicenna, the complex includes a library, a small museum, and a spindle-shaped 28-metre-high (92 ft) tower inspired by the Ziyarid-era Kavus Tower. The mausoleum and museum complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 11 May 1997 and is administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
