Imamzadeh Naser al-Din is a mausoleum located in District 12, Tehran, combining Safavid and Qajar architectural traditions. The structure showcases the refined decorative techniques characteristic of Persian funerary architecture, featuring intricate aina-kari (mirror-work), glazed tilework, and brick construction bound with mortar. As an imamzadeh—a shrine dedicated to a descendant of one of the Islamic Imams—the building holds significant religious and cultural importance. Its dual stylistic heritage reflects the evolution of Iranian architecture across successive dynasties, and it is designated as part of Iran's National Heritage.
