Al-Rashid Mausoleum(Persian: آرامگاه الراشدبالله‎) is a historical mausoleum in Isfahan Iran. It dates back to the Seljukid era and is located on the northern bank of Zayanderud beside the Shahrestan bridge. This structure is the burial place of Al-Rashid the Abbasid caliph who left his palace and fled from Baghdad to Isfahan when Mahmud of Ghazni captured Baghdad. Two years later Al-Rashid was stabbed and killed by Hashshashins in 1138.
