Agha Bozorg Mosque Kashan

The Agha Bozorg Mosque is centrally located in Kashan, making it convenient for guests to visit all of the city’s must-see sites. Agha Bozorg Mosque, like many other ancient mosques in Iran, serves as a mosque and a school.

Additionally, this impressive structure has some outstanding examples of Persian art and architecture, which are the top things to do on this trip. Let’s take a closer inspection of this old structure.

This museum of Iranian and Islamic art is often regarded as the first example of symmetrical building design. Two stone seats, likely used by weary travellers, are on each side of the gateway.

There are two stories in the courtyard’s construction. The backyard on the ground floor has a pond, a fountain, and a garden and uses a natural cooling system. The chambers are connected to the upper courtyard through four stone staircases, one at each yard corner.

The dome is one of the largest in Iran and is embellished with beautiful brickwork, intricate Quranic inscriptions, and calligraphies.

Aside from adoring its splendour, exploring every nook and cranny of this mosque in search of photo opportunities is the most rewarding thing to do.

Outside this building, you’ll find yourself surrounded by old homes renovated into modern hotels and inns. Examples of must-see places include the Noghli Traditional House, Iranian House, Morshedi House, Mahinestan Raheb, and the Saraye Ameriha Boutique Hotel.
