Jameh Mosque of Golpayegan, Seljuk mosque in Golpayegan, Iran.
The Jameh Mosque of Golpayegan is a large structure built from stone, brick, and mortar featuring a central courtyard and a 22-meter brick dome in Razi architectural style. The layout follows typical Seljuk design principles with a main prayer hall beneath the dome.
The mosque was commissioned in 1114 by Sultan Abou Shoja Muhammad I and served as a model for large mosques built later across Iran. This construction marked an important development in religious architecture of the region.
The interior reflects traditional Persian architectural design with a spacious prayer hall used by the community for worship and gatherings. The decoration style sets it apart from many other mosques of the same period.
Visitors should check opening hours ahead of arrival and respect local customs regarding dress codes and behavior in the prayer hall. The site is accessible on foot and the main spaces are easy to navigate.
The mosque stands out for its lack of tile decoration in the main prayer hall, which is unusual for structures from this period. This simpler decorative approach gives it a distinctive character.
