Emadodoleh Mosque

Emadodoleh Mosque is a stone and brick structure in Kermanshah featuring a rectangular courtyard surrounded by 14 brick columns. These columns support domed ceilings and arches throughout the interior space.

The mosque was commissioned by governor Emamgholi Mirza Emad al-Dowleh in 1868 during the Qajar dynasty's rule over Persia. This period saw significant architectural development across the region.

The mosque displays traditional Qajar architectural elements through its geometric patterns and floral motifs visible across its entrances. These decorations were typical of religious buildings from that era and remain clearly visible today.

The main entrance on the eastern side connects directly to Kermanshah's bazaar, making it accessible from the commercial heart of the city. You can easily reach it by walking through the marketplace from the nearby goldsmith district.

The mosque houses a historic door originally from the Shrine of Ali in Najaf, installed at the entrance connecting to the goldsmiths' section. This door was brought from that sacred site and remains a notable feature for visitors.
