Sardar Mosque

The structure features two main sections with a grand hall supported by twelve octagonal stone columns decorated with geometric patterns and handmade carvings.

Built by Abdol Samad Khan between 1912 and 1913, the Sardar Mosque represents the architectural achievements of the late Qajar dynasty in northwestern Iran.

The mosque interior displays traditional Iranian craftsmanship through rainbow-colored tiles featuring blue, pink, green, white, and brown patterns surrounding religious inscriptions.

Located near Imam Street in central Urmia, the mosque measures 22 meters in length and 18 meters in width, constructed with brick, stone, and decorative tiles.

A clock installed on the entrance gate in 1951 led locals to refer to this religious building as Saatlu Mosque, meaning Clock Mosque in Persian.
