The Grand Mosque of Kashan stands as a testament to Iran's rich architectural heritage, dating back to the Seljuk era. Located in the historic Baba Afzal Street, this magnificent mosque has witnessed centuries of worship, cultural exchange, and architectural evolution. Originally an ancient fire temple, the mosque underwent a transformation with the advent of Islam in Iran. While the exact date of its conversion is uncertain, historical records suggest that it was well-established by the Seljuk period. Excavations and analysis of the intricate stucco work in the mihrab (prayer niche) reveal influences from both the Seljuk and Buyid eras, showcasing a fascinating blend of architectural styles. The mosque's summer prayer hall, situated beneath the winter hall, is adorned with exquisite tile work. The discovery of ancient kiln remains in the floor of this hall by cultural heritage experts suggests that the site was once a center for ceramic production. The mosque's prominent brick dome, believed to have been reconstructed after a devastating earthquake in 1192 AH, bears a beautiful inscription dating back to 1207 AH, commemorating its restoration by Abdulrazzaq Khan Kashi. Beneath the layers of history, the mosque reveals even older structures, hinting at a pre-Islamic past. The presence of ancient kilns and other artifacts suggests that the site may have been a significant center of activity long before the arrival of Islam. According to historical accounts, the mosque was built at the behest of Safieh Khatun, daughter of Malik Ashtar, a prominent figure in early Islamic history. This attribution further enhances the mosque's historical significance and its connection to Islamic traditions. Today, the Grand Mosque of Kashan continues to serve as a spiritual and cultural hub for the community. Its intricate architecture, historical significance, and enduring beauty make it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to explore Iran's rich heritage.

مسجد جامع کاشان با مناره بلند و محراب زیبا هم اکنون در حال استفاده است. ولی بد سلیقگی و نامنظمی در آن هویداست, گویی یک مکان تاریخی نیست.

مسجد جامع کاشان مربوط به دوره سلجوقیان است و درکاشان، خیابان بابا افضل، محلهٔ میدان کهنه واقع شده و این اثر در تاریخ ۳۰ خرداد ۱۳۱۵ با شمارهٔ ثبت ۲۵۲ به‌عنوان یکی از آثار ملی ایران به ثبت رسیده است.

در لایه‌برداریهای اخیر از گچبریهای محراب دوره سلجوقی، آثار و تزییناتی متعلق به دوره آل بویه کشف و شناسایی شده است. در شبستان تابستانی این بنا که در زیر شبستان زمستانی قرار دارد، طرحهای بسیاز زیبای کاشیکاری دیده می‌شود و در کف این شبستان آثاری از کوره‌های پخت ظروف چینی به وسیله کارشناسان سازمان میراث فرهنگی در گذشته کشف شده است. این بنا دارای گنبد آجری است که احتمالاً پس از زلزله معروف سال ۱۱۹۲هجری قمری که‌این مسجد آسیب فراوانی دید، به وسیله «عبدالرزاق خان کاشی» به صورت اساسی تعمیر و این موضوع در کتیبه خط ثلث در زیر گنبد مسجد به سال ۱۲۰۷ هجری قمری نیز مشخص شده است. مسجد جامع کاشان از کهنسال‌ترین بناهای تاریخی این شهر به شمار می‌رود و بر روی بنایی کهنسال تر پایه‌گذاری شده که به عقیده برخی از کارشناسان قدمت آن مربوط به قبل از اسلام است. برخی دیگر از کارشناسان با توجه به آثارکوره‌های پخت سفال و سایر فضاهای کاوش شده در زیر شبستان‌های مسجد، آن را مربوط به قرون اولیه دوره اسلامی می‌دانند، بنابه برخی روایات تاریخی این مسجد به دستور صفیه خاتون دختر مالک اشتر[۱] بنا نهاده شده است. این مسجد دارای دو قبله می‌باشد که یکی از آنها به دلیل رعایت نشدن جهات دقیق قبله (به گفته متخصصان میراث فرهنگی) از عمد تخریب شده که آثار گچبری بسیار نفیسی بوده که به دلیل اینکه برای نمازگزاران مشتبه نشود محراب دیگری در نزدیکی همان محراب ساخته‌اند اما مردم عامی اعتقاد دارند که این محراب به طرف بیت المقدس بوده و بعد از اینکه قبله در سال دوم هجرت تغییر یافت این محراب تخریب شده است. در محراب دیگر که به سمت مسجدالحرام است آیه تغییر قبله از بیت المقدس به طرف مکه به چشم می‌خورد که خود دلیل بر اعتقاد مردم نسبت به این موضوع است. گفته می‌شود دراین مسجد سلطان علی بن محمد باقرنمازگزارده، از این رو مردم کاشان این مسجد را بسیار قابل احترام می‌دانند و قدیمی‌ترین کتیبه‌ای که درمسجد وجود دارد به تاریخ ۴۶۶ هجری قمری است که بر روی منار آن آمده است «این منار سومین منار تاریخ دار قدیمی ایران به شمار می‌رود». این مسجد مرکز بزرگترین و قدیمی‌ترین هیئت مذهبی کاشان (هیئت ابوالفضل کاشان-مشتی) می‌باشد که قدمتی بیش از...

It's a nice mosque. It is not as important as historical houses, Fin garden or the old Bazar but if you have some extra time you should visit Agha Bozorge mosque and Central Mosque in Kashan. The mosque is very old and authentic you should know that this mosque is not always open but on the prayer time it's open for sure. it also worth to take a look to its historical background and with this knowledge you will enjoy visiting...
