The Blue Mosque (Azerbaijani: Göy məscid;Persian: مسجد کبود - Masjed-e Kabūd) is a famous historic mosque in Tabriz, Iran. The mosque and some other public buildings were constructed in 1465 upon the order of Jahan Shah, the ruler of Kara Koyunlu.[1]
The mosque was severely damaged in anearthquake in 1780,[2] leaving only the iwan(entrance hall).[3] Reconstruction began in 1973 by Reza Memaran Benam under the supervision of Iranian Ministry of Culture. However, it is still incomplete.
