Iran is a country with religious people which has so many religious places and tourist attractions. Many visitors come to this country every year to visit these places and worship their God and get peace and quiet in religious places; the peace that is gone in busy cities. The most Imamzadehs’ tombs in Iran are made in rough and mountain paths. That is because they had to run away from their opponents. Imamzadehs couldn’t tolerate the rough situation and most of them would die while being chased in mountains. The people who loved them, made a tomb in that place for them. Imamzadeh Yahya is located at the end of south Bazaar in the center of old part of Semnan. This Imamzadeh is known as the child of Imam Kazem and the brother of Imam Reza. His tomb is designed with beautiful turquoise-colored tiles. Imamzadeh Yahya was going from Medina to Marv with Imam Reza in the year of 193 lunar calendar when he was assigned to guide people by order of Imam Reza and had to stay in Semnan. After Imam Reza was martyred by the order of Mamoon (the governor in that time), Imamzadeh Yahya was martyred in Semnan too. This Imamzadeh has a huge dome and high-tiled porch that shines like a diamond in the heart of desert. Many people love coming to this place to pray. The tiled turquoise-colored dome of Imamzadeh Yahya returns to Mongolian dynasty.
