The hill is placed at the end of Imam Street in Azar Shahr city, on the north coast of Dehkhvāreqān. Public call it Yuva dagı or Duva dagı but it is known as Mosalla dagı by nobles. There are a lot of plates and inscriptions on top of the hill among which some are painted and patterned. They mostly belong to 7th and 8th centuries AH. There is a large Mosalla or prayer hall right in the center of this cemetery, which is over 100 square meters. It is about a meter above the ground level of cemetery. The alter is made of stone and brick and stones are related to the past graves. A stone painted arch in the center of the alter of the marble gravestone has been vertically installed on the wall on which you can see some Persian verses, two Quranic verses along with some Arabic expressions carved in Thuluth beside some arabesques and Toranj motives. Apparently, the carvings have been caried out during 8th and 9th centuries AH.
