Sardar Mosque

This mosque is located on Imam Street and along Gholam Khan Street, which are important parts of the city's historic fabric. It is considered one of the beautiful examples of Qajar architecture. The builder, Abdul Samad Khan, was the father of Aga Khan and the great-grandfather of Azim al-Saltanah Sardar, who renovated the mosque in 1330 AH. During this renovation, he also installed a large clock above the entrance in 1331 AH.

The mihrab of the mosque is situated within one of the arches on the southern side of the nave. It is decorated with seven-colored tiles set against a yellow background, featuring floral and shrub motifs in blue, pink, white, and brown hues. The blessed Surah Ayat al-Kursi is inscribed within one of the margins surrounding the mihrab. Additionally, the names of significant Islamic figures—Mohammad, Ali, Fatima, Hassan, and Hussein—are written in a square frame above the arch of the mihrab, which is also bordered by a narrow plaster decoration.

The large nave receives light from both the north and south sides of the building. The main windows on the north side are arranged in five large, deep arches, each divided into two sections by a narrow strip, with a window installed in each section. Originally, these windows were wooden, featuring small skylights above them; however, they have since been replaced with iron windows, which have blocked some of the light.

At the far end of the nave, a balcony has been created for women's use, adorned with interesting decorations painted on the wooden railing. These designs include geometric shapes of bergamot, flowers, and bushes.

In recent years, numerous repairs and alterations have been made to the mosque's exterior, resulting in a significant change from its original appearance at the time of construction. This mosque was officially registered as a national monument under number 1338 on 11/4/1375.
