The Jameh Mosque of Qazvin is one of the oldest congregational mosques in Iran, with a domed chamber dating to the Seljuk period built over the foundations of an earlier structure. Successive dynasties enlarged it into a four-iwan mosque with courtyards, prayer halls and inscriptions spanning many centuries. The southern dome chamber preserves fine brickwork and stucco from the eleventh century, prized by historians of Persian architecture. In the old core of Qazvin, it is a layered record of Iranian religious building.
