Tarikhaneh

The Tarikhaneh Mosque features a square courtyard surrounded by arcades with barrel vaults supported by circular pillars measuring 3.5 meters in height.

Originally constructed as a Sassanid fire temple, the structure was converted into a mosque during the early Islamic period around the 8th century.

The architectural design combines Roman, Byzantine, Iranian, and Arabic elements, displaying diverse influences through its brick patterns and geometric decorations.

Located at the southern edge of Damghan city, the mosque contains multiple prayer halls divided by arcades and covered with vaults.

The mosque includes a cylindrical minaret built between 1026 and 1028, decorated with six distinct zones of geometric patterns over its 30-meter height.
