Located in the bazaar near Hassan Abad Gate in Esfahan, the Sarutaqi Mosque is a Safavid-era Shi'ite shrine completed in 1643/1644. Built during the height of Safavid architectural achievement, the mosque exemplifies the period's distinctive style through its careful deployment of tile, plaster, and brick. Its position within the bustling bazaar underscores the integration of religious and commercial life in Safavid Isfahan, while its designation as an Iranian National Heritage site reflects its enduring cultural significance.
