Jameh Mosque of Yazd, Architectural landmark in Yazd, Iran
The Jameh Mosque features two 52-meter-high minarets, making them the tallest in Iran, alongside elaborate tile work covering its entrance portal.
The mosque's construction began during the Sassanid period on a former fire temple site, with major renovations occurring between 1324 and 1600.
This religious structure combines Saffarid, Seljuk, Ilkhanid, Timurid, Safavid, and Qajar architectural elements, representing Persian design evolution across centuries.
The mosque remains an active religious center, located at 1214 meters elevation in Yazd County, accessible via Gole Sorkh Street or Imam Street.
The interior lighting system utilizes indirect reflection from white plaster surfaces on the dome and walls to illuminate the prayer spaces.
