Iran Press/ Iran News: After the advent of Islam in Iran, mosques gained a high status in Iranian culture as religious and social institutions.
The historical city of Saveh in Markazi Province, located on the ancient Silk Road, has captured the attention of many kings and rulers throughout history.
The historical mosque is made of adobe and mud. The building of Saveh Jame Mosque consists of a courtyard and a dome in its southern part, two Iwans, a minaret, several Shabistans (prayer hall), and many old Mihrabs decorated and built with Kufic script.
