Hasan ibn Ali · Ali ibn al-Hussain (Zayn al-Abidin) · Muhammad al-Baqir · Ja'far al-Sadiq
The domed shrines that once marked these graves were demolished by Wahhabi forces in 1925 and have never been rebuilt; the graves are now unmarked within the open cemetery.

Severely damaged by bombings in 2006 and 2007; the golden dome was destroyed and later rebuilt.
Jamkaran Mosque
Jamkaran, near Qom, Iran

Not a burial site -- Shia belief holds that the 12th Imam is alive in occultation and has no grave, so this is presented as a site of appearance rather than a shrine.
