Imamzadeh Ahmad is a Shi'ite mausoleum in Isfahan, Iran, built in the Seljuk and Safavid architectural traditions. The complex comprises a central tomb flanked by two iwans to its north and west, opening onto a vast courtyard where notable figures including Amir Kabir's daughter and members of the Qajar royal family—among them Naser al-Din Shah's sister and wife—are interred. The imamzadeh itself likely commemorates Sultan Ali's son, whose remains were transferred to Mashhad-e Ardehal. Designated as an Iranian National Heritage property in 1935, the site remains under the administration of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
