Its construction began during the reign of Sultan Mohammad Khodabaneh and was completed during his son’s, Abu Sa’id Bahadur Khan, rule in 1322. This building consists of a shabestan, portico, large brick dome, the structure beside shabestan and ten small arches along with one large arch in the middle.
■ Architecture
The plan of the building is a rectangle measuring about 66 meters by 43 meters. Nowadays, the mosque is located in the middle of an urban square. It has a rectangular plan and no other building is attached to it. Three exterior walls have a designed facade, but not the south-front. The mosque has a four-iwan plan and includes an entrance in the north, a shabestan in the south, porches in the east and west. Mohammad Karim Pirnia categorizes building as Azeri style of architecture. The entrance to the mosque is tall and elongated, similar to other Ilkhanid buildings and is decorated with intricate tiles. The dome of the mosque is a square room measuring 10.5 by 10.5 meters, which elevates in an octagonal shape, then a hexagon, and finally a dome with the help of squinches. The dome, the walls, even the squinches are decorated with bricks, tiles and plaster. Pirnia believes that the dome has two shells and the upper shell has been destroyed and only the lower shell remains. The eastern porch which is an auxiliary entrance compared to the main entrance. The western porch, however, has no entrance and consists of two rows of columns. This portico was completely destroyed and has been rebuilt during the contemporary restorations of the building.
■ History and restorations
In the sixth century A.H., the family of Abu Sa’d Varamini, a wealthy Shia family from that era, built a mosque in Varamin, but the current building was built in 722 A.H. (1322 CE) by the order of Izz al-Din al-Quhadhi. Apparently, the mosque was damaged due to a disaster, and in the ninth century A.H. (15th century CE), Amir Yusef Khajeh ordered the building to be restored. After that, it was not maintained for 500 years. For instance, Jane Dieulafoy, who visited the mosque during the Qajar period, wrote that no one prays there as peasants are afraid if the dome collapses and ’infidel foreigners’ can watch it without any restrictions. This mosque was registered in Iran’s national list of heritage buildings in 1932 CE and its current boundaries were defined. It was excavated by archaeologists in 1960s and 1970s and was restored in the 80s.
