Located in the historic center of Isfahan, the Masjed-e Jāmé is the oldest preserved edifice of its type in Iran and a prototype for later mosque designs throughout Central Asia. The complex is also the first Islamic building that adapted the four-courtyard layout of Sassanid palaces to Islamic religious architecture. Its double-shelled ribbed domes represent an architectural innovation that inspired builders throughout the region. The site also features remarkable decorative details representative of stylistic developments over more than a thousand years of Islamic art. The artwork is not framed. One of a kind piece.
