Founded under Fath Ali Shah in the 1820s, this mosque is a large courtyard affair with four iwans at the cardinal points – the higher east and west ones offer a measured use of restrained coloured brickwork. On Friday mornings the courtyard is filled with colourful carpets to prepare for lunchtime prayers.
