The Jāmeh Mosque of Sabzevar (Persian: مسجد جامع سبزوار; Arabic: جامع سبزوار) is a Shi'ite Friday mosque (jāmeh) located in Sabzevar, in the province of Razavi Khorasan, Iran. The mosque was commenced in the 13th or 14th century CE, during the Sarbedaran period, and was completed in 1572 CE.[1][2][3]
The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 17 January 1977, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
Architecture
[edit]This building shows the architectural features of the eighth century AH, or the 13th and 14th centuries CE. The mosque has two prayer niches (mihrabs), the first of which was built for Sunni Muslims and the second, constructed inside the first, was designed for Shi'ite Muslims. A Nast'aliq stone inscription above the entrance bears a decree from the Safavid ruler Tahmasp I. Two more inscriptions on the eastern walls bear orders from Tahmasp II and the Qajar ruler Nasser al-din Shah. The mosque has two minarets, two iwans and two sanctuaries. The mosque façade is covered with multi-colored tiles covered with floral patterns and Qur'anic script.[4] During Reza Shah's reign, the portal of the mosque was demolished after some changes in the structure of the city and Beyhaq Street, and then reconstructed.
