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

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

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.
