Imamzadeh Yahya, also known as Meyami, is a Safavid-era mausoleum located in Mashhad County, Iran, and designated as an Iranian National Heritage site. Standing 25 meters tall, the structure exemplifies Safavid architectural traditions and employs characteristic materials including aina-kari (mirrored tilework), glazed tile, mortar, adobe, and marble. As an imamzadeh—a shrine typically built to commemorate a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad—it serves as both a religious monument and a testament to the refined decorative practices of its period.
