Lonban Mosque, Historical mosque in District 1 of Isfahan, Iran

The Lonban Mosque features a central dome decorated with white and khaki floral patterns, accompanied by a minaret displaying Islamic inscriptions.

The mosque maintains four stone pillars with Sangabs, traditional water storage vessels, two round and two square, registered in Iran's cultural heritage list.

The wooden pulpit, known as Minbar Sahib al-Zaman from 1114 AH, represents the finest craftsmanship of Safavid religious furniture in Isfahan.
