The Jome Mosque (Persian: جمعهمسجد), also known as the Aradabil Jame' (Jameh) Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الجمعة (أردبيل)) and as the Jame' Mosque,[a] is a former Shi'ite Friday mosque, now in partial ruins, located in Ardabil, in the Ardabil province of Iran. The mosque was built during the Seljuk era.[2][3][4]
The former mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 18 June 1936, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
Overview
[edit]Built during the Seljuk era in the Pir Shamseddin district, the remains of the Ardabil Jomeh Mosque are situated in the grounds of a cemetery. The minaret, located adjacent to the mosque, is constructed of brick, on an octagon base and with a cylindrical body. There are two inscriptions on the minaret that reveal it was built on the order of Ozon Hassan Agh Ghoyonlou and that it was completed in AH 878 (1473/1474 CE). The inscriptions are preserved in the National Museum of Iran. The old brick mosque includes a dome and four arches. Ceramic and other objects discovered on the former mosque site are from the Saljuqian era.[1]
