The Jameh Mosque of Borujerd, located in the old quarter of Borujerd in Lorestan province, western Iran, is the oldest mosque in the Zagros region and western Iran, built in the 3rd century AH (9th century CE). Constructed on the site of an ancient Sasanian fire temple, the mosque reflects successive layers of architectural influence spanning Abbasid, Seljuk, Timurid, Safavid, and Qajar periods. As a Shi'ite Friday mosque, it served as a principal place of worship for the city's Muslim community. The building was recognized as an important cultural property and added to Iran's National Heritage List in 1935, now administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
