Jameh Mosque of Tabriz

The grand rectangular mosque has two entrances and a large shabestan. Its arches and domes are placed on octagonal brick columns, decorated with delicate and artistic plaster works. The mihrab is high and decorated with plaster works and its high dome is decorated with various mosaic tiles. There are two inscriptions, one of which states that the mosque built by the decree of the Shah Sultan Hossein, a Safavid ruler; and the other inscription is a dream by Shah Tahmasb I. The basement of the mosque and the old prayer hall, contain traces of colored plaster works, from the Seljuk and Ilkhanate eras. The dome was added in the late 16th century, during the reign of Uzun Hasan of the Aq Qoyunlu dynasty. == Gallery ==
