The Jāmeh Mosque of Khansar (Persian: مسجد جامع خوانسار; Arabic: جامع خوانسار) is a Shi'ite Friday mosque (jāmeh), located near the entrance of the city of Khansar,[a] adjacent to the old cemetery, in the province of Isfahan, Iran.[1][2][3]
The mosque was completed during the 12th-century and was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 1 November 1975, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
The structure of the mosque does not feature a dome and includes a single minaret. Masjed Jameh, as the mosque is known in Persian, is located in the southeast of Khansar. Built during the Safavid era, it features exceptional plasterwork and fretwork. The mosque’s unique and serene architecture adds to its historical appeal. The ceiling of the mosque is constructed using wood posts.[4]
