Abstract
The chahār ṭāq, a type of building frequently used as a mausoleum in Iran during the Islamic era,
has an undeniable Iranian pre-Islamic origin, but its architectural form, together with its function as
a mausoleum, crossed the Iranian border and was attested in Yemen too. The 17th-century chahār ṭāq
mausoleum at Barāqish seem to be a specific choice, probably of a Shīʿī matrix
