Saheb-ol-Amr Mosque

Saheb-ol-Amr Mosque is a prayer building in Tabriz featuring traditional Persian elements such as tiled surfaces, vaulted ceilings, and written decorations throughout. The interior combines prayer spaces with display areas for historical objects and manuscripts.

The building was constructed in the 17th century as a prayer house and has undergone multiple restorations and changes since then. These modifications show how it adapted to evolving needs over the centuries.

The building served as a center for local craftsmen and calligraphers who created their works within its walls. Today, the space reflects how religious practice was deeply connected to artistic creation.

The location is near the main bazaar of the city and is accessible to visitors interested in exploring the building. Comfortable shoes are advisable since exploring the various rooms takes time.

Inside, an extraordinarily small handwritten copy decorated with gold leaf is preserved. Alongside it are rare items such as an old metal cup and stone objects with distinctive markings.
