The Imamzadeh Haroun-e-Velayat is a Shi'ite mausoleum, madrasa, and imamzadeh complex located in Esfahan, Isfahan province, Iran, standing 23 meters high opposite the Ali minaret in Dardasht. Completed in 1513 during the reign of Ismail I, the structure exemplifies Safavid architecture and reflects subsequent Qajar-era renovations undertaken in the 19th and 20th centuries. Designed by Mirza Shah Hossein, the complex employs traditional materials including tile, plaster, adobe, brick, and stone. Recognized as one of the holiest sites in Shi'ism, it was inscribed on Iran's National Heritage List in 1934 and is administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
