The Central Mosque of Tabriz is one of the country’s most treasured historical landmarks, with parts of it dating back to the Seljuq dynasty of the 10th century. Restoration of the mosque took place during the early years of the Qajar dynasty, which began in the late 1700s, and in the 1800s, part of it was damaged by an earthquake. In 1932, the mosque, also known as the Jameh Mosque, was registered as a national monument and important heritage site. Located within Tabriz’s main bazaar, it remains an important religious and cultural focal point.
