Meydan Mosque, Historical mosque near Bazaar in Kashan, Iran.
The Meydan Mosque features multiple architectural styles, including brick construction, stone elements, decorative tiles, and a prominent portal facing the ancient Stone Square.
The mosque's initial construction dates to 1218, followed by reconstructions in 1226, 1463, and subsequent renovations through 1828 after various periods of damage.
