Jameh Mosque of Khozan

The Jameh Mosque of Khozan exhibits four grand iwans with stone and brick walls incorporating detailed muqarnas decorations throughout its structure.

The mosque's origins trace back to the 15th century Timurid period, though the present building dates primarily from the Safavid era around 1697.

The mosque walls display distinct artistic periods through paintings, with Safavid era decorations on north and south iwans, and Qajar era works on east and west.

The prayer hall behind the western iwan contains twenty stone columns measuring two meters in height and maintains regular prayer services for local residents.

The mosque's shabestan originally featured marble stone ceiling illumination elements, which were removed during modern structural modifications.
