The mosque is located near the Vakil Bazaar and is one of Iran's most magnificent two Iwan mosques, built in the 18th century. It has been rebuilt and repaired many times during this period. The mosque includes entrances, corridors, courtyards, prayer halls, magnificent altars and pulpits, as well as beautiful pearl arches, and is one of the artistic and architectural masterpieces of Shiraz and Iran.
