Architecture

The original building of the mosque dated from the Timurid era in the 15th century, however it's improbable that the current building to be older than the Safavid era. The mosque has four iwans. The southern iwan leads to the inner space of the dome. The inner space of the dome is decorated by muqarnas. The walls of the mosque are covered by stones and bricks. The arches of the northern and southern iwans are decorated with some paintings from the Safavid era, but the paintings of the eastern and western iwans seem to belong to the Qajar era.
The shabestan of the mosque is behind the western iwan. In the shabestan, there are 20 stone columns that are high. The shabestan had been lit originally with the marble stones of the ceiling, but during the reparations, these marble stones were removed.
