Built in 840, the Congregational Mosque is built in a typical Iranian architectural style. This mosque is considered one of the oldest still standing mosques in Isfahan today. This large mosque which spans 88 meters by 128 meters, contains an extremely large courtyard and prayer hall. Despite the Mosques importance, it was renovated during the reign of the Buyid dynasty in the tenth century. The Congregational Mosque was again renovated during the Salkuq dynasty in 1086. According to Bloom and Blair, â??By the first half of the twelfth century, the congregational mosque of Isfahan had all the features of what was to become the standard type of Iranian mosqueâ? (Bloom, p.157).
