Popular Things To Do | Other Things To Do Tips | All Tips (4) There are a good number of old houses in Abyaneh, among them the homes of Gholam Nader Shah and Nayeb Hossein Kashi. In addition to the Zoroastrian fire- temple (from the Sassanian period) in the village, there are three castles, a pilgrimage site, three mosques named Hajatgah, Porzaleh, and Jam'e, all worth a careful visit. Altogether there are eight mosques in the village.The Hajatgah mosque, built next to a rock, dates from the early Safavid period, according to an inscription on top of its door. Inside the mosque there is a beautiful nocturnal prayer hall with wooden capital pillars.
Porzaleh mosque, built during the Ilkhanid reign in the oldest part of the village, has a very vast nocturnal prayer hall. The ornamentation used here look very much like those of the tomb of Bayazid of Bastam, the great Persian mystic.
The Jam'e Mosque of Abyaneh dates back to the eleventh century. There are a number of inscriptions and a manbar (pulpit) in the mosque. The interesting thing is that the pulpit has many features similar to the architectural elements and column heads seen in Persepolis. Leave a Comment

On the main street (I suppose this s the main street) there is a 14th century mosque. Very unlikely to any other mosque I saw in Iran, it is made from red mud bricks just like the houses of villagers. There are at least one another mosque in the village, but near Friday mosque there was a sign with name of the mosque. The mosque was closed when I passed by, so I can not say how it looks from inside.

Take a walk through the village, go up and down. Just stroll the streets without any aim, this will bring you the most pleasure.
