The Yengi Emam Caravanserai is a caravanserai in the hills of Yengi Emam in Alborz Province, Iran. Built of brick and mortar in the Safavid architectural style, it dates to the 17th century (11th century AH) and is considered an important example of Iranian architecture that evolved along the Silk Road. It is listed as Iranian National Heritage, and UNESCO and the European Union are rehabilitating the site under the Silk Roads Heritage Corridors programme.
