On of the oldest mosques in Shiraz

Atigh Jame' Mosque is located in Shiraz and it is related to 9th century. It is one of the most ancient religious places in Shiraz and it is also famous as Jomeh Mosque (Friday Mosque). The structure was destroyed by earthquake and it repaired in Safavied dynasty. This mosque has six entrances and exits and the cilings are decotated by engrossing art.

The atigh Mosque is the oldest mosque in Shiraz, also called the Friday Mosque or Adineh. The first mosque was built in the year 281 AH during Amr Laith Safari. Later, Shah Ishaq Injou built a building in the mosque in the year 752 AH which is called the House of God or the House of Wisdom, and the place where the Qur'an was kept and the place where it was recited. Its stone inscription is a valuable example of the art of calligraphy. This inscription is written by Yahya al-Jamali al-Sufi, a well-known caller of the time of Shah Ishaq, and contains sentences in the Holy Quran. The mosque is the first religious core in the city of Shiraz, which has a socio-political role apart from its religious function, and therefore has six entrances on the opposite sides, most notably the entrance to the northern side, which was reconstructed during the Safavid period.

Atigh Jame' Mosque is a 9th-century mosque in Shiraz. It is also one of the most ancient religious sites of Shiraz, which is also known as Jomeh Mosque (Friday Mosque). The building of Jame' Mosque had been vastly damaged due to an earthquake and renovated during the rule of Safavid and Qajarid dynasties. Within the courtyard of this mosque, a cubic building has been constructed. The inscriptions of this building have been written during the rule of Sheikh Abu Es'haq Injou. The building of the mosque is so high. It has some chambers and naves and some of its parts have two floors. The mosque has six entrances and exits; one in the north side, one in the south side, two doors in the west side, and two ones in the east side. The turreted Khodakhaneh section is perhaps it's most interesting and intricate feature; although the entire mosque complex -allegedly frequented by Hafiz- is a delight to wander around .

If you dont like mass tourism, I highly recommend you to visit this mosque. It is not crowded even in high season. It is the oldest mosque in Shiraz and maybe in Iran. There are many stories about this place that you can hear it if you have professional tour guide

Located in the Shah Cheragh compound, you should visit the mosque during the call to prayer.

This mosque may not be in comoarison with Shahcheragh next door, but the history and the Ka'bah look alike building that was used as a place to practice tawaf in the past are pretty interesting. Renevotation is in progress when I was there and I wish I could see it when it's done and add more stars to my review.

Historical mosque

Jame Atiq Mosque is the oldest mosque in Shiraz, which is also called Friday Mosque or Adina. The original building of this mosque was built in the year 281 AH during the time of Amr Leith Safari. Later, Shah Ishaq Inju built a building in the middle of the mosque in the year 752 AH, which is called Khodaykhane, and it was the place where the Holy Quran was kept and where it was recited.

After visiting Shrine Shah Cheragh I suggest you visit Atiq Mosque in neighbor. Little structure is in the yard. Function of that was place for writing and reading the Quran( holy book of Moslems).
