It is located in Mihad Mihin (Mirmiyan) neighborhood of the city, at the intersection of Ferdowsi and Mohagheghi (Amin) streets.
History[edit]
It takes its name from the fact calligrapher ‛Abdallah Sayrafi[1] and his pupil Hajji Muhammad Bandgir worked both on the mosque. It was build during reign of Suleiman Khan and was financed by Ala al-Din Hasan Kuchak.[2] Due to these reasons, it is also called ʿAlāʾīya (Persian: علائیه) after Hasan or Solaymānīya (Persian: سلیمانیه) after Suleiman Khan.[3]
Because of numerous earthquakes happened in the area, mosque has been damaged several times, especially during 1641 Tabriz earthquake and original inscription by the designers was lost. Jean Chardin reported that the mosque was in semi-ruined situation when he visited.
It was renovated on the orders of Abbas Mirza, later by Mirza Muhammad Qarajadaghi-Avansari in 1916 and finally Muhammad Agha Ardabili in 1959.
