مسجد جامع ارومیه
Urmia's Friday Mosque is in the middle of Urmia Bazaar. It has a vast courtyard and a large brick Shabestan (covered area), roofed in the middle part with a high dome.
The Urmia Bazaar is in the southeastern corner of Urmia. The major part of the bazaar which remains intact is flanked by the Imam (Asgarabadi), Eghbal and Mahabad (Montazeri) streets.
Built in the Qajar dynasty by Abd-o-Samad Khan, father of Agha Khan and great grandfather of Azim-o-Saltaneh Sardar, Sardar Mosque is situated some 500 m away from the Friday Mosque. In 1951, the latter installed a big clock on top of the entrance door, which is why it is also called the Sa’atlu (clock) Mosque.
