The Qasr Prison Mosque in District 7 of Tehran is a mosque constructed in the Pahlavi architectural style, a period of Iranian modernist design associated with early twentieth-century state building. Built with brick, tile, and mortar, the structure represents the intersection of religious and civic architecture during Iran's Pahlavi era. Designated as an Iranian National Heritage site, the mosque reflects the cultural priorities of its time and remains a documented example of religious architecture from this formative period in Iran's architectural history.
