Jameh Mosque of Natanz
مسجد جامع نطنز
A mosque and Sufi sheikh's mausoleum from the Ilkhanid period. The conical dome of the tomb and the slender minaret stand out in the hill town.
The Jameh Mosque of Natanz complex was mainly built in the early 14th century under the Ilkhanate. It includes the mosque, the mausoleum of the Sufi sheikh Abd al-Samad, and a minaret about 37 m tall. The conical dome of the mausoleum is clad in blue tiles, and the stalactite-style vaulting and stucco carvings inside are exceptionally fine. Much of the original lustre tilework has been dispersed to museums overseas. The small town lies on the route from Kashan to Abyaneh and Isfahan and is often included in day trips to Abyaneh. Note: there are sensitive facilities nearby, so never photograph any military or industrial sites outside the town.
