Jameh Mosque of Dezful

Jameh Mosque of Dezful is one of the oldest mosques in Khuzestan province, the oldest part of which dates back to about 900 years ago. The current mosque, which contains four iwans (a rectangular hall or space, usually vaulted, walled on three sides, with one end entirely open), was built on the remains of the previous mosque, during the Safavid period. The mosque has been restored several times.
