Shi'ite mausoleum complex in Varamin, Tehran province, Iran The Imamzadeh Yahya ( Persian : امامزاده یحیی , romanized : Emamzadeh Yahya ) is a Shi'ite Islamic funerary complex and mausoleum , located in southern Varamin , in the province of Tehran, Iran . The complex contains the tomb of a sixth-generation descendant of Hasan ibn Ali . Completed between c. 659 AH (1260/1261 CE ) and 706 AH (1306/1307 CE), during the Ilkhanate period, construction of the complex was funded by Fakhr al-Din, the local ruler of the Ray province when Varamin had been its capital, and others. Fakhr al-Din was the protegé of the fourth Ilkhanate ruler Arghun Khan and invested heavily in the Imamzadeh, as he also shared heritage with Hasan ibn Ali. The tomb was constructed using extravagant, valuable materials and incorporates architectural elements that facilitate worship. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, tiles from the Imamzadeh Yahya were looted, and many are located today in museums around the world. Local residents and tourists pray at the site and use the courtyard as an event space. The complex was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 31 July 1933, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran .
