History

Sources do not agree entirely on when the mosque was built. Our record, along with some references, gives 1791 and associates the construction with the time of Fath Ali Shah. A large inscribed stone in the mosque points to the year 1213 AH, while another stone gives the construction date as 1205 AH, which would fall before Qajar rule. For this reason some scholars suggest that the mosque was founded before the Qajar dynasty took power and was later enlarged or completed under its rulers.
The mosque was registered as an Iranian national heritage site on 16 March 2002 under number 5152.
