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]
