Jameh Mosque of Zanjan, Religious monument in Zanjan, Iran.
Jameh Mosque of Zanjan is a religious building constructed from brick, mortar, and decorated with tiles in the style of Qajar-period architecture. The structure features prayer halls and a courtyard where geometric patterns and tile decorations cover the surfaces.
The building was constructed in 1826 under the direction of Abdollah Mirza, a royal figure of the Qajar era. Significant restoration work in later decades led to its reopening in 1989.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for daily prayers and once functioned as a school for Islamic study. Visitors can observe how the space remains central to the community's religious and educational life.
The mosque sits near the Zanjan bazaar on the south side of Sabzeh Meydan square. Visitors can walk through during the day, though some areas may be reserved during prayer times.
The grand entrance displays craftsmanship typical of the Qajar period in elaborate detail. The combination of spacious design and fine decorative work makes this building a notable example of its architectural style from that time.
