Al-Nabi Yusha', Religious shrine in Safed, Israel

The rectangular structure features two domed chambers around a courtyard, with an arched entrance on the north side and the shrine-mausoleum on the south end.

The religious complex was established in the 18th century by the al-Ghul family and remained active until the village depopulation during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

The shrine contains a mausoleum believed to house the remains of the biblical Joshua, making it a significant religious site for Shi'ite Muslims.

The ruins are currently surrounded by barbed wire fencing, with fragments of houses and architectural elements scattered throughout the site grounds.

During the British Mandate period, local residents organized annual pilgrimages to the shrine on the fifteenth day of Sha'aban month.
