Jameh Mosque of Kashan, Mosque in Kashan, Iran
The structure features a single brick minaret in its southeastern corner with precise architectural elements following traditional Persian designs.
The location initially housed a Zoroastrian fire temple before the mosque's construction, with its first documented establishment dating to 700 AD.
The mosque's large mihrab contains Quranic verses about Friday prayers, carved in detailed stucco work that demonstrates Persian religious artistry.

The building contains two mihrabs, with one intentionally destroyed due to incorrect alignment and replaced during Shah Tahmasp I's reign.
