View of entire mosque complex
The Grand Mosque of Yazd province is one of the most beautiful historical monuments and unique tourist attractions in central Iran. The Jame Mosque (Friday Mosque) which dates back to the 14th century, is located in the heart of Yazd city, and was once surrounded by schools, bazaars, libraries, bathhouses and other urban institutions, the remains of which can still be seen today. History says the original building was a Zoroastrian fire temple in the Sassanid era which was later converted into a mosque during the Seljuk reign. The mosque is crowned with a magnificent dome decorated with turquoise and white geometric tiles and has a pair of minarets considered to be the highest in all Iran. Taken @Yazd, Iran
