Jameh Mosque of Kabir Neyriz

The Jameh Mosque of Kabir Neyriz features two 52-meter minarets and contains a long arcaded courtyard leading to a sanctuary chamber with a dome.

The mosque was constructed on a former Sassanid fire temple site, with initial construction ordered by Ala'oddoleh Kalanjar during the 6th century AH.

The mosque remains an active center for religious ceremonies and daily prayers, serving the local Shia Muslim community through generations of worshippers.

The mosque incorporates an indirect lighting system that efficiently distributes natural light throughout the structure by reflecting it off white plaster surfaces.

The mosque's interior showcases a tall Mihrab completed in 1365, recognized for its tile mosaic decorations and architectural excellence.
