Construction finished in 1616 during the Safavid period, a time when Persian builders were advancing their religious architecture. This mosque represents the skilled work that developed during this era of architectural growth.
The entrance displays colorful tilework, while the interior shows geometric patterns and detailed plasterwork throughout. These decorative elements reflect the craftsmanship that visitors can still see and appreciate today.
The site sits within a larger historical complex that is easy to walk through and explore at your own pace. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing and note that the location is in a rural area where services nearby are limited.
A pool in the courtyard receives water directly from the Tajan River through a built-in channel system. This integrated water supply shows how builders designed the site to work with its natural surroundings.
