The Mausoleum of Setti Fatemeh, also known as the Mausoleum of Safavid Princes, is a Twelver Shi'ite funerary complex located in the Chaharsu-ye-Kuchak district of Isfahan, Iran. Completed in 1632 CE, the monument stands nine meters high and combines Safavid and Qajar architectural styles, employing tile, plaster, adobe, mud, and brick in its construction. The mausoleum entombs the remains of great-grandsons of Shah Ismail I, the founder of the Safavid dynasty, who were executed during the reign of Shah Safi. Recognized as an important cultural property, the complex was added to the Iranian National Heritage List on 13 December 1934.
