The Jāmeh Mosque of Qerveh (Persian: مسجد جامع قروه; Arabic: جامع قروة), also known as the Qerveh Spacious Mosque, is a Shi'ite Friday mosque (jāmeh) located in Qerveh,[a] in Abhar County, in the province of Zanjan, Iran. The mosque was completed in the 5th century AH (11th century CE), during the Seljuk era.[3][4][clarification needed]
The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 24 February 1963, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
The Jāmeh Mosque of Qerveh is one of the historical monuments in the Abrrud (Great River) region. Located in the heart of the old part of the village, the mosque was built in the four-dome style and has a beautiful dome resting on four piers. The mosque is a valuable work comparable to the porches of the Jāmeh mosques of Qazvin and Kabul.[4]
