Jameh Mosque of Isfahan

8th–17th century · 8th century · Also known as Friday Mosque of Isfahan, Masjed-e Jameh of Isfahan, Great Mosque of Isfahan

The Jameh Mosque of Isfahan is the great congregational mosque of Isfahan in central Iran, rebuilt and extended continuously from the 8th to the 17th century. Its Seljuk domes of the 1080s and its four-iwan courtyard plan made it a model for later Iranian mosques, and earlier dynasties such as the Kakuyids also added to it. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
