The Pamenar Mosque (Persian: مسجد پامنار (سبزوار), romanized: Masjid-i Pa-Minar; Arabic: مسجد بامنار (سبزوار)), sometimes known as the Pa Minar Mosque – referring to its minar – is a mosque located in Sabzevar, in the province of Razavi Khorasan, Iran.
Overview
[edit]The mosque dates from 880 CE, during the Tahirid era, and is one of the oldest monuments in central Sabzevar. Adjacent to the mosque is a 15-metre-tall (49 ft) swinging minaret, erected in 1029 CE, during the Samanid era. The stunning brick minaret is adorned with Kufic inscriptions and is attached to an iwan. Azure tiles bearing white Qur'anic verses adorn the mosque that was extensively renovated and expanded during the Safavid era to include a nine-arched sanctuary with three semi-arches.[1][2][3] The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 12 April 1967, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
