Friday Mosque The crowned by a pair of minarets , the highest in Persia , the portal’s facade is decorated from top to bottom in dazzling tile work , predominantly blue in color. Within there is a long arcaded court where , behind a deep-set southeast Ivan , is a sanctuary chamber. This chamber , under a squat tiled dome , is exquisite decorated with faience mosaic: its tall faience Mihrab , dated 1365 , is one of the finest of its kind in existence. The Mosque was largely rebuilt between 1324 and 1365 , and is one of the outstanding 14th century buildings in Persia.The timework has recently been skillfully restored and a modern library built to house the mosque's valuable collection of books and manuscripts.
