Yaw Mingyi Monastery (Burmese: ယောမင်းကြီးအုတ်ကျောင်း) is a Buddhist monastery in Mandalay, Burma, built in 1866 under the patronage of Pho Hlaing, the Yaw Mingyi.[1] Unlike classic Burmese monasteries, the Yaw Mingyi Monastery was a brick monastery modeled after a hotel the Yaw Mingyi had seen while traveling in Southern Italy,[2] and as such, adopts European flourishes and is extravagantly carved in plaster.[3] It was located near the Salin Monastery.[3] The monastery was burned down all wooden infrastructure, remained only brick structure during World War II during the Allied bombing of Mandalay.[1]
